Options
- A20! 4! 5!
- B20! 4^5
- C20! (5!)^4
- D20! (4!)^5
Correct answer
C. 20! (5!)^4
Step-by-step solution
Set S= 1,2,3, , 20 is to be partitioned into four sets of equal size i.e., having 5-5 numbers. The number of ways in which it can be done aligned & = ²⁰ C₅ ¹⁵ C₅ ¹⁰ C₅ ^5 C₅ & = 20! 15! 5! 15! 10! 5! 10! 5! 5! 1= (20!) (5!)^4 aligned
