In how many ways can (2) letters be selected in order from (15) letters?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (210)

Because the two letters must be selected in order, exchanging their positions produces a different outcome. Therefore use a permutation. There are 15 choices for the first letter and, after it is selected, 14 choices for the second letter. The multiplication principle gives 15 × 14 = 210 ordered selections. In notation, 15P2 = 15!/(15−2)! = 15!/13! = 210. Hence option A is correct. Option B, 105, equals 15C2 and ignores order. Option C is simply 15², which would allow repetition and is not appropriate here, while option D does not count the available ordered pairs.
