Q63.If ๐‘› is the number of ways five different employees can sit into four indistinguishable offices where any office may have any number of persons including zero, then ๐‘› is equal to: (1) 47 (2) 53 (3) 51 (4) 43

What This Question Tests

This problem involves distributing 5 distinct employees into 4 indistinguishable offices, which is a classic application of Stirling numbers of the second kind, or can be solved by considering partitions of the set of employees.

Concepts Tested

Stirling numbers of the second kindPartitions of a setCase work for distributing distinct items into indistinguishable boxes

Formulas Used

S(n, k) = (1/k!) * ฮฃ(j=0 to k) (-1)^j * (kCj) * (k-j)^n (Stirling number of second kind)

Alternatively, sum of distributions into 1, 2, 3, 4 non-empty boxes.
