The number n of ways that an organization consisting of twenty -six members can elect a president, treasurer, and secretary (assuming no person is elected to more than one position) is A. 15600
Feedback The president can be elected in twenty-six different ways; following this, the treasurer can be elected in twenty five different ways since the person chosen president is not elegible to be treasurer); and following this, the secretary can be elected in twenty-four different ways.
Thus, by above principle of counting, there are
n =26 x 25 x 24 =15600 different ways in which the organization can elect the officers.
