Five people cannot be sat in four chairs. There will be one person left over that does not have a chair.
That said, there are 120 different seating arrangements, 5 x 4 x 3 x 2, each including one person standing.
Of course, you could always have someone sit on another person's lap, and if you did that, the number of seating arrangements would be 480.
5 chairs x 5 people = 25 choices

All I know is that each person can sit on a chair. There aren't many ways with the details you said. There might be 2 chairs with 2 people on each chair. There really only is one way.
There are about 2 sensible reasons. You get 25 chairs tell the 25 people to sit. Tell them to sit on the floor.Answer:25 people can be seated in 25! ways (25! is factorial 25, or 25x24x22x21 ....x3x2x1) as the first chair can be filled in 25 ways, the second in 24, the third in 23 and so on.
