In a 3-letter code, both A and B are available, but the first place must be A. There are 6 letters in total and repetition is not allowed. How many codes are possible?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 20 codes

This is a restricted arrangement counted by the multiplication principle. The first position is fixed as A, so it has exactly 1 choice and cannot be counted as 6 choices. Because repetition is forbidden, A cannot be used again. For the second position, 5 letters remain available; after selecting one of them, 4 letters remain for the third position. Thus the total number of codes is 1 × 5 × 4 = 20. Option C is correct. The value 36 would allow unrestricted repeated choices, and 30 fails to account for the decreasing number of available letters. The value 15 would incorrectly treat the last two positions as an unordered pair, although their positions in a code are different.
