Answer 2

Answer: 2730 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, fifteen students compete in a race.

Three prizes are to be distributed.

∴ Number of ways in which the prizes can be distributed = 15 * 14 * 13

                                                                                               = 2730 ways.

As, the first prize can be given to any 15 student, second prize can be given to 14 students and third prize can be given to any 13 students.
