Answer 2

Answer:

The number of ways are 360.    

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Six different objects were divided among 4 people.

To find : In how many ways?        

Solution :  

This situation can be arranged by permutation,

The required ways are $^6p_4$

The formula is $^nP_r=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}$

$^6p_4=\frac{6!}{(6-4)!}$      

$^6p_4=\frac{6\times 5\times 4\times 3\times 2\times 1}{2\times 1}$    

$^6p_4=6\times 5\times 4\times 3$                  

$^6p_4=360$      

Therefore, The number of ways are 360.
