25-. Twelve identical-shaped dishes are arranged in four vertical columns, as
is shown in figure 1.5. There are four of
red color in the first column, three blue in the second column, two gray
in the third column and three blanks in the fourth. To join the shooting team of your
university. Dora must break the dish that is at the bottom of the column.
Under these conditions, how many ways can he shoot (and break) the 12 plates?
PR = 12! / (4!)(3!)(3!)(2!)

4-. In the Braille system, a symbol, such as a lowercase letter, a sign of
punctuation, a suffix, etc., is written by highlighting at least one of the points of the
arrangement of six points that appears in part (a) of figure 1.8.
braille positions are listed in this part of the figure). For example, in part (b)
the points of positions 1 and 4 are highlighted and this arrangement of six points
represents the letter c. In parts (c) and (d) of the figure we have the representations of
the letters m and t, respectively. The definite article "The" is shown in part (e),
while part (f) contains the form for the suffix 'ow'. Finally, the point and
comma (;) appears in the arrangement of six points in part (g), where the points of the
positions 2 and 3 appear in relief.
a) How many different symbols can we represent in the Braille system?
How many symbols have exactly three raised dots?
c) How many symbols have an even number of raised dots?
d) How many symbols have at least four raised dots?
