Solution

The correct option is C

20!(5!)4


Finding the number of ways:

Given, S={1,2,3,20}4 sets
Let's consider 5 elements per set. The number of ways of partitioning is as follows
To select 5 elements for set Afrom 20 C520.
To select 5 elements for set B from 15C515
To select 5 elements for set C from 10c510
To select 5 elements for the final set 5C55

So, The number of ways

=C520×C515×C510×5C5

=20!5!15!×15!10!5!×10!5!5!×1=20!5!4

Therefore, the number of ways it can be done is 20!(5!)4

Hence, option (C) is the correct answer.
