Question

The causes of productivity of loss are to be written around a circle in an annual report. In how many ways can an analyst write them around the circle. Assume that the number of causes are $5$?

Answer 1

Given: No.of causes $=5$

Thus, No.of ways $=(5-1)!$

$$\begin{gathered} =4! \\ =4\times 3\times 2\times 1 \\ =24 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, there are $24$ ways can an analyst write them around the circle.
