Part 2: The research board can be chosen in 32760 ways

Part 1:
The number of ways in which we can organized n elements into k groups with size n1, n2,...nk is calculate as:
So, in this case we can form 4 subgroups with 10 participants each one, replacing the values of:
- n by 40 participants
- k by 4 groups
- n1, n2, n3 and n4 by 10 participants of every subgroups
We get:
Part 2:
The number of ways in which we can choose k element for a group of n elements and the order in which they are chose matters is calculate with permutation as:
So in this case there are 4 offices in the research board, those are director, assistant director, quality control analyst and correspondent. Additionally this 4 offices are going to choose from a group of 5 doctors.
