Abstract/Summary

The discussion of this paper is based on the article "A Master Key For Ten Locks" by Stephen R. Cavior. A particular theorem known as the central result is used to solve a surprising variety of counting problems in number theory and combinatorics. The proof of this particular theorem is shown using two methods : the combinatorial method and the method of generating function. The step by step solution for each problem is thoroughly discussed and some extension of some particular problems are cited at the end of the paper.
