We check the following points

1. The order does not matters

2. No repetition

3. we cannot choose all the available choices. we need to select only 4

If order does not matters then we use combination

Formula is nCr =
(n!)/(r!(n-r)!)

We choose 4 from 9

So 9C4 =
(9!)/(4!(9-4)!)

=
(9!)/(4!(5)!) = 126 ways
