In how many different ways can three persons \( A, B, C \) having 6,7 and 8 one rupee coins respectively donate \( \boldsymbol{R} \boldsymbol{s} . \mathbf{1 0} \) collectively?

  • A. 45
  • B. 46
  • C. 47
  • D. 48

Step-by-step solution

Total nonnegative integer solutions to x+y+z=10 is C(12,2)=66. Subtract violations: x≥7 gives 10, y≥8 gives 6, z≥9 gives 3. No overlaps, so valid=66-19=47.
