Answer:

1320 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

In a race in which twelve automobiles are entered and there are no ties.

We have to find the ways in which first three finishers come in.

In these questions when order is fixed means when first, second and third positions are fixed (First comes, then second and then third) then we use the permutation to find the number of ways.

3 positions out of 12 automobiles = ^{12}P_{3}=\frac{12!}{(12-3)!}

= \frac{12!}{9!}

= \frac{(12)(11)(10)(9!)}{(9!)}

= 12×11×10

= 1320

In 1320 ways first three automobiles may come in.

Towns X, Y, and Z are on the same straight road. Town Y is between Town X and Town Z. Town X is 57 miles from Town Z, and Town Y
Ray Of Light [21]
The distance between town X and Town Y is equal to the difference between the distance between Town X and Town Z and the distance from Town Y and Town Z. Mathematically
                      d (X-Y) = d (X-Z) - d(Y-Z)
Substituting,
                      d(X-Y) = 57 miles - 28 miles = 29 miles
Thus, the distance from Town X to Town Y is 29 miles.
