If there are more than m objects and there are m pigeonholes then: Which of the following is true?

If there are more than m objects and there are m pigeonholes then: Which of the following is true? Correct Answer There will be at least one pigeonhole with at least two objects

The Pigeonhole Principle:

1. If n pigeonholes are occupied by n + 1 or more pigeons, then at least one pigeonhole is occupied by greater than one pigeon.

2. Generalized pigeonhole principle is: - If n pigeonholes are occupied by kn + 1 or more pigeons, where k is a positive integer, then at least one pigeonhole is occupied by k + 1 or more pigeons.

Observations:

If there are more than m objects and there are m pigeonholes then there will be at least one pigeonhole with at least two objects
