I don't think the answer is correct in this context. For A to make sense, there needs to be an unlimited supply of the 5 TYPES of prizes. If there are only 5 prizes, the only possible options are :2,1,1,1 -> 4C1 =42,2,1,0 -> 4C2 * 2C1 = 243,1,1,0 -> 4C1 * 3C2 = 123,2,0,0 -> 4C1 * 3C1 = 124,1,0,0 -> 4C1 = 45,0,0,0 -> 4C1 = 4 So, total = 4 24 12 12 12 4 = 68
