Answer:
We can arrange 4 different colored balls in 24 ways.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to find the number of ways in which we can arrange 4 different colored balls.
Firstly, we have to decide that either we use Permutation or we use Combination.
A Permutation is used when the order of arranging the numbers matters while on the other hand, a combination is used when the order of arranging the numbers doesn't matter.
So, in our question; the ordering matters to us as a ball which is placed in the first place can't be put again put in other places.
Number of ways of arranging 4 different colored balls = [tex]^{4}P_4[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{4!}{(4-4)!}[/tex] {[tex]\because ^{n} P_r = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}[/tex] }
= 4! = [tex]4 \times 3 \times 2\times 1[/tex]
= 24 ways
Hence, we can arrange 4 different colored balls in 24 ways.
