Answer:
1) first book can be at any of 4 places
2) Second book can be on any of leftover 3 places
3) Similarly third book on 2 and forth on 1 place
total : 4 * 3*2 * 1 = 24 ways .
other way we have formula 4!/1! =24 , here ordering is important
It is called arrangement or permutations, while if you need to group some objects it is called combination and there we need to consider unique groups only.
example if you need to choose 2 friends for a party out of 4 friends ,
answer will be 4!/2!*2! = 6 groups. (Ordering doesn’t matter hence division)
hope it hleps
