The given information is:

Number of bottles =18

Number of groups =3

Number of bottles in each groups =6

Pick first 6 bottles from 18 bottles, 

Total no. of ways of choosing is:

\frac{18 !}{(18-6) ! 6 !}=\frac{18 !}{12 ! 6 !}=18564

Pick next 6 bottles from remaining 12 bottles, 

Total no. of ways of choosing is:

\frac{12 !}{(12-6) ! 6 !}=\frac{12 !}{6 ! 6 !}=924

Pick last 6 bottles from remaining 6 bottles and the number of ways this can be done is 1 .

Since the three groups are similar, there is no differentiation between them. Therefore, we need to divide it with 3 !=6 .

The total numbers of ways:

\frac{18564 \times 924}{6}=2858856
