a) Given positive integers m, n with mn. show that the number of ways to distribute m identical objects into n distinct containers with no container left empty is

C(m – 1, mn) = C(m – 1, n– 1).


b) Show that the number of distributions in part (a) where each container holds at least r objects (mnr) is

C(m – 1 + (1 – r)n, n – 1).
