The first person can be accommodated in any of the 4 rooms, so total possible ways for 1st person =4
Similarly , for 2nd,3rd and 4th person - 4 ways each.

So total number of ways = 4*4*4*4=256 ways

IMO E

Hi thanks for your explanation, I have been following an approach, Can you please point what is wrong with mine?
Approach:
Firstly, I'm writing now all the possibilities of Room accomodation
_n_ represents the room with # of arrangements
_1_ _2_ _3_ _4_
0 0 0 4 - 1
0 0 1 3 - 4
0 0 2 2 - 4C2
0 1 1 2 - 4C2
1 1 1 1 - 4!
Adding up all i got 41 ways..
Can you explain what's wrong with the approach?
