A code of (3) letters is to be made from (6) letters without repetition. How many codes are possible?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (120)

The direct answer is A: 120. A code has three ordered positions, and six letters are available without repetition. Choose the first position in 6 ways, the second in 5 ways, and the third in 4 ways. Therefore the total is \(6\times5\times4=120\), equivalently \({}^{6}P_3=6!/(6-3)!=120\). Option A is correct. Option B, 20, resembles a combination count and ignores order. Option C, 216, allows repetition because it is \(6^3\). Option D, 36, does not represent the successive choices. For example, ABC and BAC are different codes, so order matters even when the same letters are used.
