Q. In how many ways 5 rings of different types can be worn in 4 fingers?

My answer is 5*5*5*5, because one finger can wear 5 ways, similarly other three fingers.
But this is not the correct answer.

IMO it should be 5*4*3*2 (If the question DOES'NT ask for repetition)

First finger has 5 rings to wear. After choosing a ring for first finger, you have four rings for the second finger. And so on.

Is that the entire question?

Nowhere does it say there's a minimum or maximum number of rings per finger, so we can't assume that it's one on each.

Thanks for your response.
Yes, that is all the question, there is no constraints on wearing rings.
