The number of ways in which ten candidates `A_(1), A_(2), .. .., A_(10)` can he ranked, if `A_(1)` is always above `A_(2)` is

A

10!

B

`(10!)/(2)`

C

9!

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The candidates can be ranked in 10! Ways. In half of these ways, `A_(1)` is above `A_(2)` and in another halff, `A_(2)` is above `A_(1)`. So, required number of ways `=(10!)/(2)`.
