In a club, the posts of president, vice-president, and secretary are to be filled from 7 students. One student can hold only one post. How many appointments are possible?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 210 appointments

The three posts are distinct, so assigning the same three students to different posts can produce different appointments. This is an ordered selection without repetition. There are 7 choices for president. After that student is used, 6 choices remain for vice-president, and then 5 choices remain for secretary. By the multiplication principle, the number of appointments is 7 × 6 × 5 = 210. Equivalently, it is the permutation ⁷P₃. Option D, 343, incorrectly allows repetition by using 7³; options B and C do not match the required product. Therefore option A is correct.
