The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of how many ways four persons can leave a lift cabin at different floors in a six-floor building, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Total Floors**: There are a total of 6 floors, but since the persons can only leave starting from the first floor, we have 5 available floors (1st to 5th). 2. **Choices for Each Person**: - The first person can choose any of the 5 floors to exit. - After the first person exits, there are 4 floors remaining for the second person. - After the second person exits, there are 3 floors remaining for the third person. - Finally, after the third person exits, there are 2 floors remaining for the fourth person. 3. **Calculate the Total Number of Ways**: The total number of ways the four persons can leave the lift cabin can be calculated by multiplying the number of choices available for each person: \[ \text{Total Ways} = 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \] 4. **Perform the Multiplication**: - First, calculate \(5 \times 4 = 20\) - Then, calculate \(20 \times 3 = 60\) - Finally, calculate \(60 \times 2 = 120\) 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the total number of ways in which each of the four persons can leave the cabin at different floors is **120**. ### Final Answer: The total number of ways in which each of the four persons can leave the cabin at different floors is **120**.
