Q.1)The students at Natural High School sell coupon books to raise money for after-school programs.
At the end of the coupon sale, the school selects six students to win prizes as follows:
From the homeroom with the highest total coupon-book sales, the students with the
first-, second- and third-highest sales receive $50, $30, and $20, respectively; from the
homeroom with the second-highest total coupon-book sales, the three highest-selling students
receive $10 each. If Natural High School has ten different homerooms with eight students
each, in how many different ways could the six prizes be awarded? (Assume that
there are no ties, either among students or among homerooms.) Write your answer as a
product of primes raised to various powers (do not actually compute the number)?
-First of all i would like to state,when i read the question i could not grasp everything ,so i had to re-read.Wasting some time, still it was not fully clear.I am clearly struggling with lengthy questions ,in which the question tries to bore you down.Need little help regarding this and yes, this particular problem also seemed tough to me when i got it finally.Do explain the solution....
-If some one can explain me the usage of anagram method and where to apply it, i will be grateful, i think its a good tool,if only i could master it.
