How many ways are there to arrange (2) objects selected from (9) objects in order?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (72)

Because the objects are selected and then placed in order, this is a permutation problem rather than a combination problem. For the first position, any of the 9 objects can be chosen. After one object has been used, 8 objects remain for the second position. By the multiplication principle, the total number of ordered arrangements is \(9\times8=72\), or \({}^{9}P_2=\frac{9!}{7!}=72\).

The order matters here: choosing object X first and object Y second is different from choosing Y first and X second. If order did not matter, the count would be \(\binom92=36\), which explains option B, but that is not the question being asked. Therefore the correct answer is 72, option C.
