In a video game, a player is faced with the task of moving from point A to point B to point C, and then returning from point C to point A through point B, without retracing any path. There are 5 paths from point A to point B, and 8 paths from point B to point C. In how many different ways can the player accomplish the task?

(A) 2,240
(B) 1,600
(C) 1,120
(D) 68
(E) 24
Path : A-B-C-B-A

A to B = 5 paths
i.e. Return paths = 4 (retracing not allowed)
B to C = 8 paths
i.e. Return paths = 7 (retracing not allowed)

Ways to accomplish task = 5*8*7*4 =1,120

Answer: Option C
