Given information

System and  has the total energy  each.

Both system and  consists of three particles.

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.
The following are some of the various energetically equivalent ways to transfer energy among the three particles in two systems:
  • Three particles with the same amount of energy.
  • Two particles with the same energy and the third particle with a different energy than the two particles with the same energy.
  • Three particles with varying energies.
The entropy of a given system is a measurement of the system's randomness, which is the distribution of the particles involved. The higher the entropy, the more dispersed the system is.
