~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Did you get this formulation from the teacher or invented it on your own ?

The matter is that the meaning slips off totally from this formulation.


I'd formulate it in this way (for example):

" There are 10 prizes. In how many ways can you award 3 people so each person obtain one prize from this collection? "


If it is the meaning of your post, then the answer is 10*9*8.


The word "disperse" is not applicable in this context.
