1. Total number of ways

Each of the $10$ different balls can go into any of the $4$ distinct boxes.

Therefore, total number of possible distributions is $4^{10}.$

2. Favourable cases

We want exactly two boxes to contain exactly $2$ and $3$ balls.

This means:

• one box has $2$ balls,
• another box has $3$ balls,
• the remaining $5$ balls go into the other two boxes.

Also, since the statement says two of these boxes contain exactly 2 and 3 balls, the remaining two boxes must contain numbers of balls different from $2$ and $3$.

3. Choose the boxes for 2 and 3 balls

Choose the box that gets $2$ balls and the box that gets $3$ balls: $^4P_2 = 4\times 3 = 12.$

4. Choose the balls for these boxes

• Choose $2$ balls out of $10$ for the first chosen box: $\binom{10}{2}.$
• Choose $3$ balls out of remaining $8$ for the second chosen box: $\binom{8}{3}.$

So far, number of ways: $12\binom{10}{2}\binom{8}{3}.$

After this, $5$ balls remain to be distributed among the remaining $2$ boxes.

5. Distribute remaining 5 balls into 2 boxes

Each of the $5$ remaining distinct balls can go into either of the $2$ remaining boxes, so total distributions: $2^5 = 32.$

But we must exclude cases where one of these two boxes also gets exactly $2$ or $3$ balls.

Possible splits of $5$ into two boxes are: $(0,5),(1,4),(2,3),(3,2),(4,1),(5,0).$

Invalid splits are $(2,3)$ and $(3,2)$, because then the remaining boxes also contain exactly $2$ and $3$ balls, giving more than the intended pair.

Number of ways corresponding to split $(2,3)$ or $(3,2)$: $\binom{5}{2}+\binom{5}{3}=10+10=20.$

Hence valid distributions for remaining $5$ balls: $2^5-20=32-20=12.$

6. Total favourable ways

Thus, $N_f=12\binom{10}{2}\binom{8}{3}\times 12.$

Now, $\binom{10}{2}=45,\qquad \binom{8}{3}=56.$

So, $N_f=12\times 45\times 56\times 12.$

Compute: $45\times 56=2520,$ $12\times 12=144,$ therefore $N_f=2520\times 144=362880.$

7. Probability

$P=\frac{362880}{4^{10}}.$

Since $4^{10}=(2^2)^{10}=2^{20}=1048576,$ we get $P=\frac{362880}{1048576}.$

Simplify: $362880=945\times 384,$ and $1048576=2^{10}\times 1024=1024\times 1024.$

More directly, $\frac{362880}{1048576}=\frac{945}{2^{10}}.$

Hence, $P=\frac{945}{2^{10}}.$
