How many different signals can be made from 4 red, 2 white, and 3 green flags by arranging all of them vertically on a flagstaff?



Answer -

Given:

Number of red flags =4

Number of white flags= 2

Number of green flags= 3

So there are total 9flags, out of which 4 are red, 2 are white, 3 are green

By using the formula,

n!/ (p! ├Ч q! ├Ч r!) =9! / (4! 2! 3!)

= [9├Ч8├Ч7├Ч6├Ч5├Ч4!] /(4!├Ч2├Ч1├Ч3├Ч2├Ч1)

= [9├Ч8├Ч7├Ч6├Ч5] /(2├Ч3├Ч2)

= 9├Ч4├Ч7├Ч5

= 1260

Hence, 1260 differentsignals can be made.
