Use the permutation formula to solve a problem when n = 8 and r = 2. A. 56
B. 672
C. 6,720
D. 40,320

Option A. 56

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Total number (n) = 8

Item taken for permutation (r) = 2

Pemutation (P) =?

ₙPᵣ = n! / (n – r)!

₈P₂ = 8! / (8 – 2)!

₈P₂ = 8! / 6!

₈P₂ = 8 × 7 × 6! / 6!

₈P₂ = 8 × 7

₈P₂ = 56
