Correct answer: B. (15)
Explanation: The direct answer is option B, \(n=15\). For two ordered selections, \(^{n}P_2=\frac{n!}{(n-2)!}=n(n-1)\). The given equation therefore becomes \(n(n-1)=210\). We need two consecutive numbers whose product is 210. Since \(15\times14=210\), \(n=15\). Algebraically, \(n^2-n-210=0\), which factors as \((n-15)(n+14)=0\). The possible roots are 15 and -14, but n counts objects and must be positive, so n=15. Option A, 14, gives \(14\times13=182\). Option B, 15, gives 210 and is correct. Option C, 16, gives 240. Option D, 13, gives 156. Do not divide 210 by 2: permutations count ordered pairs, so AB and BA are different.
