Question

If there is a crossword that has three squares that need to be filled, how many possible three letter arrangements are there (assuming they do not have to make a real word)? A.26! B.26!/3! C.23! D.26!/23

Answer 1

23!

Explanation:

I was doing this question, I chose 26! and it was wrong.

Answer 2

26 possible letters
assuming you can repeat them
26*26*26
no listed
ok, lets assume that you can't repeat them
that is 26 times 25 times 24 (because you used 1 each time)
that is 26!/23! (because 26*25*24*23!=26!)

answer is D (only if there is a factorial sign after the 23)
