(A) The number of ways to distribute $15$ fruits is the coefficient of $x^{15}$ in the expansion of the product of the generating functions for each fruit type.For apples: $(1 + x + x^2 + x^3 + x^4 + x^5) = \frac{1-x^6}{1-x}$For mangoes: $(1 + x + x^2 + \dots + x^{10}) = \frac{1-x^{11}}{1-x}$For oranges: $(1 + x + x^2 + \dots + x^{15}) = \frac{1-x^{16}}{1-x}$The generating function is $f(x) = \frac{(1-x^6)(1-x^{11})(1-x^{16})}{(1-x)^3} = (1 - x^6 - x^{11} - x^{16} + x^{17} + x^{21} + x^{22} - x^{33})(1-x)^{-3}$.Using the binomial expansion $(1-x)^{-3} = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \binom{n+2}{2} x^n$,we need the coefficient of $x^{15}$:$= \binom{15+2}{2} - \binom{9+2}{2} - \binom{4+2}{2} = \binom{17}{2} - \binom{11}{2} - \binom{6}{2}$$= \frac{17 	imes 16}{2} - \frac{11 	imes 10}{2} - \frac{6 	imes 5}{2} = 136 - 55 - 15 = 66$.Thus,the total number of ways is $66$.

Out of $5$ apples,$10$ mangoes,and $15$ oranges,$15$ fruits are to be distributed between two persons. Find the total number of ways of distribution.
