RULE:
For any equation a+b+c+d = n
where n = Total Balls to be distributed and r = 4 (Number of variables)
The number of Positive solutions \(= (n-1)C_{r-1}\)
i.e. Positive Integer solution of the equation a+b+c+d+e = 30 will be \((30-1)C_{5-1} = 23751\)
Answer: Option D

So 30 has to be distributed amongst 5 sets a,b,c,d and e. As we are looking at positive integral solution, let us give 1 each to all 5.
Remaining now =30-5=25
So let us now add 4 partItions so that we can distribute these in 5 sets and then choose these 4 partitions
=> (25+4)C4=29*28*27*26/4!=29*7*9*13=23751
D
