In how many ways can 6 persons stand in a queue?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The number of ways given by `\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}`
Since the number of ways in which 6 persons can stand in a queue is same as the number of arrangements of 6 different things taken all at a time. Hence the number of ways in which 6 persons can stand is
`\frac{6!}{(6-6)!}=6!`
Hence, the required number of ways =`720`
