उत्तर

From a committee of 8 persons, a chairman and a vice chairman are to be chosen in such a way that one person cannot hold more than one position.

Here, the number of ways of choosing a chairman and a vice chairman is the permutation of 8 different objects taken 2 at a time.

Thus, required number of ways = 

8P2 = `(8!)/((8 - 2)!)`

=`(8!)/(6!)`

= `(8 xx 7 xx 6!)/(6!)`

= 8 x 7

= 56
