In now many ways could the operator have perceived the people leaving the elevator if all the people look the same? (there are totally 6 floors excluding the basement)

This is a question based on distributing similar things to different groups (SàD)

i.e. the distribution of 9 similar things to 6 different groups

Solving, we get $^{14}$ C $_{5}$ = 2002.
