In how many ways can a president and secretary be chosen from (11) candidates?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (110)

The two positions are president and secretary, so they are different roles. Choosing candidate P as president and candidate Q as secretary is different from choosing Q as president and P as secretary. Therefore order matters, and a permutation rather than a combination is required.

There are 11 choices for president. After that choice is made, 10 candidates remain for secretary. By the multiplication principle, the total number of selections is \(11\times10=110\), or \({}^{11}P_2=\frac{11!}{(11-2)!}=110\). Thus option C is correct. The value 55 would come from \({}^{11}C_2\), which treats the two positions as identical and therefore does not suit distinct offices.
