(5)-digit numbers are to be formed from (5) distinct digits. If one particular digit always stays in the middle, how many numbers are possible?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (24)

This is a permutation problem because the digits are arranged in positions and changing their order creates a different number. The specified digit is fixed in the third, or middle, position, so it does not need to be chosen or arranged again. The remaining four distinct digits can be placed in the four vacant positions in 4! ways. Thus the count is 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 24. Therefore option C is correct. Option A, 120, would incorrectly arrange all five digits freely as 5!, while option B does not follow the factorial count. Option D also results from an incorrect restriction or multiplication.
