Raial has 7 different posters to be hanged in her bedroom, living room and kitchen. Assuming she has plans to place at least a poster in each of the 3 rooms, how many choices does she have?

Answer Details

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
