Question

Including Jose, there are eight people in his family.

If order matters, how many ways can he arrange his family members into a row of five seats if Jose must sit in the first seat?

35
840
1,680
2,620

Answer 1

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

because the no of members in his family is 8 and the no of seats is 5

Answer 2

Given: 8 members
I.e. 1(Jose) + 7(remaining) = 8
Now,
Jose’s seat is fixed which can be arranged in 1p1 i.e. 1 way
And
Remaining 7 can be arranged in 7p4 I.e. 35 ways
Hence Total ways = 35 x 1 = 35
