Answer 1

Answer:

The number of ways in which 3 medals can be allocated among the 6 sprinters is 120.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of medals= 3

Number of sprinters= 6

So the number of ways in which medals can be allocated= 6*5*4 = 120.

[The gold medal can be allocated to any of the 6 sprinters, the silver medal to any of the remaining 5 sprinters and the bronze to any of the remaining 4 sprinters].
