The value of ${ }^7 P_3-3\left({ }^6 P_2\right)$ is equal to

The value of ${ }^7 P_3-3\left({ }^6 P_2\right)$ is equal to
  1. ${ }^7 P_2$
  2. 60
  3. ${ }^6 P_3$
  4. 240

Solution

We have, $ \begin{array}{ll} & { }^7 P_3-3{ }^6 P_2 \\ & \frac{7 !}{4 !}-3 \cdot \frac{6 !}{4 !} \\ \Rightarrow \quad & \frac{7 !}{4 !}-\frac{3 \cdot 6 !}{4 !} \\ & =\frac{6 !}{4 !}(7-3)=\frac{6 !}{4 !} \times 4 \\ & =\frac{6 ! \times 4}{4 \times 3 !}=\frac{6 !}{3 !}={ }^6 P_3 \end{array} $
