Answer:
Option B is correct, i.e. 30 ways.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that there are 6 runners at a competition. So it means n = 6.
It says 2 medals are awarded for first and second place. So it means r = 2.
Each medal is different, it means the order matters here. It is the case of Permutations, so we will use nPr formula.
Total number of ways = 6P2 = 6x5 = 30.
Hence, option B is correct, i.e. 30 ways.
Answer:
Option B
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that there are 6 participants, Two medals are awarded as I and II to 2 persons
The two medals are different
TO find the number of ways of awarding these two medals
Consider the I award. It can be given to any one of 6 persons in 6 ways
After receiving I prize as award, he would be eliminated and remaining persons would be 5
No of ways of distributing II medal to 5 person = 5 ways
Hence total no of ways = 6(5) =30
In other words, this is a quesiton of permutation 6P2 = 30
