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
- ${ }^7 P_2$
- 60
- ${ }^6 P_3$
- 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}
