Question

There are 25 people competing in a race. In how many ways can they finish in first and second
place?
49
400
600
625

Answer 1

Answer:

• C) 600

-----------------------

The number of ways to choose the first place finisher is 25, since any of the 25 people can win.

After the first place finisher is determined, there are 24 people left who can finish in second place.

Therefore, the total number of ways is:

• 25 × 24 = 600

Correct choice is C.
