An order of studying 6 distinct chapters is to be made. If the first chapter is fixed, how many orders are possible?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 120

The governing concept is permutation of distinct objects with one position already fixed. Because the first chapter is specified, that position has only one possible choice. The remaining five distinct chapters must be arranged in the five vacant positions, and their order matters. Thus the number of arrangements is 5! = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 120. Therefore option A is correct. Option B, 720, equals 6! and would be appropriate only if no chapter were fixed. Options C and D are not the factorial count of all five remaining chapters; they omit some possible orders and therefore undercount the arrangements.
