How many ways are there to place (3) books from (8) different books on a table in order?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (336)

The direct answer is option B: 336 ways. We must choose and order 3 books from 8 different books. The first position has 8 choices, the second has 7 choices because repetition is forbidden, and the third has 6 choices. Therefore the number of ordered selections is \(8\times7\times6=336\), or \({}^{8}P_3=\frac{8!}{5!}\). Option B is correct. Option A, 120, is not the required product and would correspond to a different arrangement count. Option C, 56, is \(\binom{8}{3}\), which selects three books without considering their order; here the books are placed in order, so it is insufficient. Option D, 512, incorrectly uses \(8^3\), which would allow repetition. Exam cue: “place,” “arrange,” or “in order” usually means order matters.
