$$\mathrm{to}\mathrm{distribute}6\mathrm{mathe}\mathrm{books}\mathrm{among}$$$$3\mathrm{students}\mathrm{there}\mathrm{are}{\mathrm{C}}_{3-1}^{6-1}={\mathrm{C}}_2^5\mathrm{ways}$$$$$$$$\mathrm{to}\mathrm{distribute}6\mathrm{physics}\mathrm{books}\mathrm{among}$$$$3\mathrm{students}\mathrm{there}\mathrm{are}{\mathrm{C}}_{3-1}^{6-1}={\mathrm{C}}_2^5\mathrm{ways}$$$$$$$$\Rightarrow \mathrm{total}\mathrm{ways}:$$$${\mathrm{C}}_2^5\times {\mathrm{C}}_2^5=\frac{5!}{2!3!}\times \frac{5!}{2!3!}=\frac{5\times 5!\times 4\times 3!}{2!2!3!3!}$$$$=\frac{5\times 5!\times 4}{2!2!3!}$$$$=\frac{5\times 5!}{6}$$$$\Rightarrow \mathrm{k}=6$$
