In how many ways can 2 students be seated at 6 different desks?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 30

The governing principle is an ordered selection of two students’ positions. Since the six desks are distinct, placing student A at desk 1 and student B at desk 2 is different from placing B at desk 1 and A at desk 2. Choose a desk for the first student in 6 ways; after that, choose a different desk for the second student in 5 ways. Thus the total is 6 × 5 = 30, which is ⁶P₂ = 6!/(6−2)!. Therefore, option D is correct. The value 12 counts too few arrangements, 15 would correspond to choosing two desks without assigning students to them, and 36 incorrectly allows the same desk to be used twice. Distinct seating places make order relevant.
