Letters in boxes - combinations
Q .) The number of ways can 5 letter be put in 3 boxes A, B,C such that A has at least 2 letters. My approach: Number of ways to choose 2 letters out of 5 is 5C2. And for each such combination the remaining 3 letter have 3 choice. Therefore 5C2 * 3^3, but this is incorrect. Please point out the fault in my understanding and also the correct way to solve it
