for first buk dere r (m+1) ways to select a buk (copy) (including no selection)
similarly (m+1) 4 the other
and for the rest n buks too

hence total no of ways of selecting buks is
(m+1)(m+1)(m+1).....ntimes
= (m+1)^n
but atleast one buk is to be selected
hence total no of ways is
(m+1)^n - 1.

But still I am one.
I cannot do everything,
But still I can do something;
And because I cannot do everything
I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.
