Answer:
3876
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Fraternity members = 20
They are to attend 5 different parties in groups of 4
Meaning a group = 4 persons
Atleast one brother will attend exactly one of the parties. (the brothers are indistinguishable).
Then, exactly one brother at a party (20 - 1) = 19, since they are indistinguishable.
Group members are in 4's
19C4
From: nCr = n! /(n-r)! r!
19C4 = 19! / (19 - 4)! 4!
= 19! / 15! 4!
= (19 * 18 * 17 * 16) / (4 * 3 * 2)
= 93024 / 24
= 3876
