(8) distinct objects are to be arranged in a row. If one particular object is always in the first position, how many arrangements are possible?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (5040)

The first position is already reserved for the specified object, so that object has no choice left to make. The remaining seven distinct objects must be placed in the remaining seven positions. Since every object is different, changing the order creates a new arrangement.

The number of orders of seven distinct objects is the factorial of seven: \(7!=7\times6\times5\times4\times3\times2\times1=5040\). Equivalently, the remaining positions can be filled in 7 choices, then 6, and so on. Therefore option A, 5040, follows. The other values do not represent the required number of arrangements after fixing the first object.
