In how many ways can 2 letters be selected in order from 12 letters?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 132

The governing principle is permutation, because the words “in order” mean that the arrangement of the selected letters matters. For the first position, any of the 12 letters may be chosen. Once that letter is selected, 11 letters remain for the second position, since repetition is not indicated in an ordered selection of distinct letters. By the multiplication principle, the total is 12 × 11 = 132. The same result follows from the permutation formula: 12P2 = 12!/(12 − 2)! = 12!/10! = 12 × 11 = 132. Therefore option A is correct. Option B, 66, equals 12C2 and would apply if order did not matter. Options C and D do not follow from the required two successive choices.
