Given that,

Number of ice-creams,\mathrm{n=8}
Number of cups,\mathrm{r=5}

Therefore, total number of ways

\mathrm{=5^{8}-\left(\begin{array}{l} 5 \\ 1 \end{array}\right)(5-1)^{8}+\left(\begin{array}{l} 5 \\ 2 \end{array}\right)(5-2)^{8}-\left(\begin{array}{l} 5 \\ 3 \end{array}\right)(5-3)^{8}+\left(\begin{array}{l} 5 \\ 4 \end{array}\right)(5-4)^{8} }

\mathrm{=390625-(5 \times 65536)+(10 \times 6561)-(10 \times 256)+5 }

\mathrm{ =390625-327680+65610-2560+5 }

\mathrm{ =125999 }
