Example:- Distribute 10 distinct object among 3 person in anyway.
Solution:- 

Here 1ˢᵗ object can be distributed in 3 ways.
Similarly 2ⁿᵈj object can be distributed in 3 ways.
3ʳᵈ object can be distributed in 3 ways




10ᵗʰ object can be distributed in 3 ways

Hence total number of ways of distribution
                  = 3×3×3×…………..10 times
                  = 3¹⁰ Answer

(Q). Distribute 100 letters in 10 letter boxes anyway.
Solution:-

1ˢᵗ letter can be distributed in 10 ways.
Similarly 2ⁿᵈ letter can be distributed in 10 ways.
3ʳᵈ letter can be distributed in 10 ways




100ᵗʰ letter can be distributed in 10 ways.

Hence total number of ways = 10×10×10×…………100 times
=10¹⁰⁰ Answer

(Q). A person has 5 servant at his home. He has 4 friends. He has to invite his friends by giving one letter to each. He tells his servants to invite his friends. In how many ways he can invite his friends.
Solution:-

S₁            F₁
S₂            F₂
S₃            F₃
S₄            F₄
S₅

which servant gives letter to friend will be a way.

∴ F₁ can be invited in 5 ways.
similarly F₂ can be invited in 5 ways
F₃ can be invited in 5 ways
F₄ can be invited in 5 ways

Hence total number of ways = 5×5×5×5
                                                    = 5⁴ Answer

(Q). Distribute 10 distinct books among 5 students if one particular person gets exactly 3 books.
