Question

There are 46 runners in a race. How many ways can the runners finish first, second, and third

Answer 1

Answer:

(46 permutation 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to choose any three with ranking from 46. So we can do this in (46 combination 3 ) ways. But for every three persons, there will be a 3 ! ways to interchange their ranks . so (46 combination 3)* 3! = (46 permutation 3)
