In how many ways can a class representative and an assistant representative be chosen from 12 students?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 132

Although the wording says “chosen,” the two positions are different, so order matters. Selecting student X as class representative and student Y as assistant is different from selecting Y as class representative and X as assistant. There are 12 choices for the first post and, after that, 11 remaining choices for the second post. Thus the number of assignments is 12 × 11 = 132, or ¹²P₂ = 12!/(12−2)!. Therefore, option B is correct. The value 66 is ¹²C₂ and would be appropriate only if the two students formed an unlabelled group. The values 24 and 144 do not follow the required successive-choice calculation.
