How many 5-letter passwords can be formed from 8 distinct letters if no letter is repeated?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 6720

The governing concept is an arrangement without repetition. Because a password is ordered, ABCDE and BACDE are different passwords; hence combinations cannot be used. Fill the five positions successively: 8 choices for the first, 7 for the second, 6 for the third, 5 for the fourth, and 4 for the fifth. Thus the count is 8P5 = 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 = 6720, so option A is correct. Option B, 56, is 8C5 and ignores order. Option C, 336, omits one factor, while option D, 8^5, incorrectly permits repetition.
