If \({ }^n P_4=1680\), then \(n=\)

If \({ }^n P_4=1680\), then \(n=\)
  1. 6
  2. 12
  3. 10
  4. 8

Solution

\(\begin{aligned} & \text {Since, }{ }^n P_4=1680 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)=1680 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)=8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5 \Rightarrow n=8 \end{aligned}\) Hence, option (d) is correct.
