Please don't post so many questions at once!

 

Please also fix your latex.

 

However I know the questions you are asking :)

 

for the marvin one, 12c5 to get to 5,7 and 7c3 * 5c1 passing throguh 4,3

 

Now you calculate.

 

4 choices for each ball, 4 boxes, you can solve now.

 

these are the groups

4-0-0-0, 3-1-0-0, 2-2-0-0, 2-1-1-0, and 1-1-1-1

 

The number is answer.

 

C)

 

I answered this a few minutes ago.

 

Go see my answer earlier.
