The board of directors of a corporation must select a president, a secretary, and a treasurer. in how many possible ways can this be accomplished if there are 21 members on the board of directors?

7980 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

When select predident:21 ways

When select secretary: 20 ways

When select treasurer: 19 ways

It is permutation

N permutation r=NPR

20permutation3=21×20×19= 7980 ways

7980 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Pretty simple.

we are finding variation.

Variation = N factorial/ (N-P)factorial/

N = the total number of elements we have available

P = the number of elements out of n we need to select

N = 21

P = 3

Variation = 21 factorial/(21-3)factorial = 21 factorial/ 18 factorial

Variation = 21x20x19x 18factorial/ 18 factorial

Variation = 21x20x19 = 7980 possible ways of selecting 3 positions out of a board of 21 members.

is it clear?

i pretty sure it is

plants store their excess carbohydrate in the form of starch so that it could be used as energy source later on. the excess carbohydrate is converted into starch in the plastid i.e. chloroplast & this process occurs in the presence of sunlight. it is an insoluble polymer of glucose which gets stored in cell organelles named as amyloplasts. in some plants, starch is also stored in roots and embryos.
