I answered a question very simiar to this a day or two ago. I seem to recall you left a comment too..
Anyway, I'd like to see you attempt these questions, one at a time if you want, and then maybe we can talk about your answer/s.
Why don't you start with b, that looks like the easiest one because the only thing that matters is how many balls are in the boxes.
