Question:

Find the value of ${^{75}P_2}-{^{75}C_2}$

Options:

0

150

2775

3290

Correct Answer:

2775

Explanation:

${^{75}P_2}-{^{75}C_2}$

= \(\frac{ 75 !}{ 75!- 2! }\) - \(\frac{ 75 !}{ (75!- 2!) .  2! }\)

= \(\frac{ 75 ×74 ×73 !}{ 73! }\) - \(\frac{ 75 !}{ (73!) × 2! }\)

= 75 ×74 - \(\frac{ 75 ×74 }{ 2 ×1 }\) 

= 5550 - 2775

= 2775

The correct answer is option (3) : 2775
