A

`68`

B

`72`

C

`84`

D

`104`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`(c )` Let four different movies are watched by `x,y,z` and `w` students.
`:. X+y+z+t=10`
Since each movie is watched by atleast one student,
Number of ways `=` number of positive integral solution of equation `(i)`
Hence `=^(9)C_(3)=84`
