The number of ways 3 identical pens and 5 identical watches can be given to 8 graduates is 56.

It is given that

No of identical pen sets = 3

No of identical watches = 5

No of graduates = 8

What is permutation?

A permutation is a mathematical calculation of the number of ways a particular set can be arranged, where the order of the arrangement matters.

If both the articles were not identical, no of ways those 8 items could be given to graduates = 8!

But, there are 3 identical pen sets and 5 identical watches.

So, no of ways 3 identical pens and 5 identical watches can be given to 8 graduates =  [tex]\frac{8!}{5!3!}[/tex] = [tex]56[/tex]

Hence, no of the ways 3 identical pens and 5 identical watches can be given to 8 graduates is 56.
