First case: Lets take the first voter, he could vote to any 1 of
the 3 candidates
similarly second can vote to any of the 3 candidates and third and
fourth and the fifth
so total possible ways will be 3
â¨¯3â¨¯ 3 â¨¯
3â¨¯3 = 35 = 243

Second case: Assume that the last three person are voter as well as
candidate, so they can vote in only one way And the rest two can
give in three ways So total number of possible was are
3â¨¯3â¨¯1â¨¯1â¨¯1
= 9 ways

there are 3 candidates and 5 voters. in how many ways can the votes be given? if 3 candidates are included in 5 voters and they vote for themselves only, then how many ways of giving votes are possible?
