In how many ways can 4 different direction cards be placed from top to bottom?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 24

The governing concept is a permutation of distinct objects in a linear order. All four direction cards are different, each card is used exactly once, and the top-to-bottom sequence distinguishes one arrangement from another. There are 4 choices for the top position, 3 remaining choices for the second position, 2 for the third, and 1 for the bottom position. Therefore, the multiplication principle gives 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 4! = 24. Option A is correct. Option B incorrectly uses 4², as though two independent choices were made repeatedly. Options C and D are not the complete product of the available choices and therefore do not count every possible order. This is a straight arrangement, not a circular one.
