Investigating in how many ways objects of two different colours can be grouped

February 09, 2008

Having three black objects B and one white object W they can be grouped in 7 ways like this:

(BBBW)(B,BBW)(B,B,BW)(B,B,B,W) (B,BB,W)(BBB,W)(BB,BW)

In how many ways can sixty black objects B and forty white objects W be thus grouped?
