Answer #1

1st part :

select 16 squares from 64 to place on the board

no. of ways = 64C16

= 64!/(16! * (64-16)!)

= 4.8852694*10^14

in 4.8852694*10^14 ways the checkers can be placed on the board if there are no restrictions

2nd part :

select 2 squares out of 8 squares in each of the 8 rows

no. of ways = 8C2*8C2*8C2*8C2*8C2*8C2*8C2*8C2

= (8C2)^8

= 28^8

= 377801998336

no. of ways if you must place 2 checkers in each row = 377801998336
