the no.of ways of distribuiting n identical things in r groups is n+r-1 C r-1;
hence answer has to be (15C9).(15C 9)

first you have to partition 6 into ten parts..

so have 9 dividers and 6 apples in a row

the number of ways is 15!/ (9! x 6!) = 15C6

same with the oranges..

hence the square.

Hint: one divider seperates the whole thing into 2 parts...
similarly, we need 9 to seperate 6 apples in 10 parts

so you have to place 9 dividers and 6 apples in a row..

hence you have to arrange 15 objects 9 objects of one kind and 6 of another..

which i sgiven by 15!/(9! 6 !)
