If 6Pr = 6, find the value of 6Pr+1
30
33
35
15

Explanation

6Pr = 6 Thus r = 1

N.B 6P1 = \(\frac{\text{6!}}{\text{(6 - 1)!}}\)

= \(\frac{\text{6!}}{\text{5!}}\)

= \(\frac{6 \times \text{5!}}{\text{5!}}\) = 6

6Pr + 1 = 6P2 = \(\frac{\text{6!}}{(6 - 2)\text{!}} = \frac{6\text{!}}{\text{4!}}\)

= \(\frac{6 \times 5 \times \text{4!}}{\text{4!}}\)

= 30
