Required number of ways $$=$$∑$$r=25$$ $$5C5$$−$$rD(r)=$$∑$$r=25$$ $$5$$!r!(5$$−$$r)!⋅r!$$1$$−$$11$$!$$+12$$!−$$13$$!$$+$$…$$+($$−$$1)rr$$!$$=$$∑$$r=25$$ $$5$$!(5$$−$$r)!$$12$$!−$$13$$!$$+$$…$$+($$−$$1)rr$$!$$=5$$!$$3$$!$$12$$!$$+5$$!$$2$$!$$12$$!−$$13$$!$$+5$$!$$1$$!$$12$$!−$$13$$!$$+14$$!$$+5$$!$$0$$!$$12$$!−$$13$$!$$+14$$!−$$15$$! $$=10+20+(60$$−$$20+5)+(60$$−$$20+5$$−$$1)=10+20+45+44=119$$
