Advertisements
Solution
Number of ways of assigning a job to person A = 3
Number of ways of assigning the remaining jobs to person B = 2
(since one job has already been assigned to person A)
The number of ways of assigning the remaining job to person C = 1
Total number of ways of job assignment =`3xx2xx1=6`
