Answer: 60
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the permutation is a way of arranging the elements of a set into a order or a sequence .
The number of permutations of n things taken r at a time is given by the following formula:
[tex]P(n,r)=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Then , }P(5,3) =\dfrac{5!}{(5-3)!}\\\\=\dfrac{5\times4\times3\times2!!}{2!}=60[/tex]
Hence, the value of [tex]P(5,3)=60[/tex]
