Find the number of ways in which 5 men can watch 4 movies such that each movie is watched by at least one person and no one can watch more than one movie.

A. 150

B. 240

C. 360

D. 480

E. 120



Is this not a permutation question? 5*4*3*2 brought me to the same answer.

If the question is interpreted to mean every man watches a movie, then:

How many ways to select the movie that's watched twice:

4!/3!1! = 4

How many distinct ways to distribute these movies among the 5 men:

5!/2 = 60

Total ways: 4*60 = 240
