Question
There are four parcels and five post-offices. In how many different ways can the parcels be sent by registered post?
✓
Answer
Total number of parcels $= 4$
Total number of post-offices $= 5$
Since a percel can be sent to any one of the five post offices.
So, the requied number of ways $= 5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5$
$= 5^4$
$= 625$
Hence, total number of ways is $625$.
