PERMUTATION AND COMBINATION
Q:1 How many different ways can the letter "A" , "B" and "C" be
arranged?

SOL:

The number of different ways that the letters "A," "B," and "C" can be arranged is
given by the concept of permutations. Since order matters when arranging these
letters, we'll use the formula for permutations of distinct items:

P(n)=n!

Where n is the number of distinct items and n! represents the factorial of n,
which is the product of all positive integers from 1 to n.

For your case, there are three distinct letters ("A," "B" and "C"), so:

P(3)=3!=3×2×1=6

There are 6 different ways to arrange the letters "A," "B," and "C."

Here are all the possible arrangements:

ABC

Q:2 In how many ways can 4 students be arranged in a line for a
