From (1)- scholarships could be distributes anyways (6,0,0) (1,1,4)etc - Insuff
(2) Equal No is distributed, Can be (1,1,1)(2,2,2) etc - Insuff
Together; Since total is 6, only (2,2,2) can be possible.
C
PS They ask for No of ways and that would be 10!/2!2!2!4! (10 people, 2 scholarships of each type and 4 people who dont receive)
