C.
21 -
D.
210
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation
The first poster has 7 ways to be arranges, the second poster can be arranged in 6 ways and the third poster in 5 ways.
= 7 x 6 x 5
= 210 ways
or (frac{7}{P_3}) = (frac{7!}{(7 – 3)!}) = (frac{7!}{4!})
= (frac{7 times 6 times 5 times 4!}{4!})
= 210 ways
