Answer:

If there are 5 persons and at a time only 3 can be arranged, the total number of arrangements is 60

Option C is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 5 persons and at a time only 3 can be arranged.

The total number of arrangements = nPr = n!/(n-r)!

Here n = 5 and r = 3

nPr = n!/(n-r)!

nPr = 5!(5-3)!

nPr = 5!/2!

nPr = 5*4*3*2!/2!

nPr = 5*4*3

nPr = 60

So, if there are 5 persons and at a time only 3 can be arranged, the total number of arrangements is 60

Option C is correct.

How many terms are in the arithmetic sequence shown below? 15, 7, -1, -9...,-225

NemiM [27]

We know that

We can write an Arithmetic Sequence as a rule:

an = a1 + d(n−1)

where

a1 = the first term
d =the "common difference" between terms

in this problem
a1=15 a2=7 a3=-1 a4=-9 ..... an=-225
d=a2-a1
d=7-15-----> d=-8

an = a1 + d(n−1)
for
an=-225
d=-8
a1=15
find n
-225=15+(-8)*(n-1)--> (n-1)=[-225-15]/-8----> n-1=30---> n=30+1---> n=31

the answer is
31
