For first set 4 applications can be selected from 20 by 20C4 ways

For second set 4 applications can be selected from 16 by 16C4 ways

For third set 4 applications can be selected from 12 by 12C4 ways

For fourth set 4 applications can be selected from 8 by 8C4 ways

For fifth set 4 applications can be selected from 4 by 4C4 ways

Hence total no. of ways = 20C4 * 16C4 * 12C4 * 8C4 * 4C4

= 20! / (4^5)
