In how many ways can a president and vice-president be chosen from 13 candidates?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 156

The two offices have different titles and responsibilities, so they are distinguishable positions. Choosing candidate A as president and candidate B as vice-president is not the same as choosing B as president and A as vice-president. There are 13 choices for president. Once that choice is made, 12 candidates remain for vice-president. Therefore, the total is 13 × 12 = 156, or ¹³P₂ = 13!/(13−2)!. Hence option B is correct. The value 78 equals ¹³C₂ and would count only an unordered pair, ignoring which candidate receives which office. The values 26 and 169 do not represent the required two-stage selection without repetition.
