If (5) different books are arranged in a row, how many ways are possible?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (120)

The direct answer is option A: 120 ways. There are 5 different books, and every book must be used once. For the first place, any of 5 books can be chosen. After that, 4 books remain for the second place, then 3, then 2, then 1. By the multiplication rule, the total is \(5\times4\times3\times2\times1=5!=120\). Option A is correct because it is exactly this factorial value. Option B, 25, does not count the successive choices and is not \(5!\). Option C, 20, is also not the product of all five decreasing choices. Option D, 10, is too small and does not represent arranging all five distinct books. Since changing the order changes the arrangement, this is a permutation question. Memory cue: arranging all different objects in a row means use \(n!\).
