Brent is right, and Anurag is wrong, at least by my reading of the question, but they both correctly answered the question as they interpreted it. (It seems to me to imply that the four people select numbers like 1, 1, 2, 3, while Anurag takes it to mean a set like 1, 1, 2, 2.)

But really the author of the question is wrong, as the wording is ambiguous.
