Question

Answer 1

Hi

Here is ur answer

==============================

Answer:

No. of ways = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

The possible groups -

1. 4+0+0+0

No. of ways = 4!/3! = 4

2. 3+1+0+0

No. of ways = 4!/(2!) = 12

3. 2+2+0+0

No. of ways = 4!/(2!)(2!) = 6

4. 2+1+1+0

No. of ways = 4!/2! = 12

5. 1+1+1+1

No. of ways = 4!/4! = 1

So, the total no. of possible ways = 4+12+6+12+1

                                                         = 35
