The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Given, $ ^{32}{{P}_{e}}=k\,{{(}^{32}}{{C}_{6}}) $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ \frac{32!}{(32-6)!}=k.\frac{32!}{6!(32-6)!} $ $ \left[ \because \,{{\,}^{n}}{{P}_{r}}=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}\,\,and{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{r}}=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!} \right] $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ 1=\frac{k}{6!}\Rightarrow k=6! $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ k=6\times 5\times 4\times 3\times 2\times 1=720 $

Permutations and Combinations

Permutation:

Permutation is the method or the act of arranging members of a set into an order or a sequence. 

  • In the process of rearranging the numbers, subsets of sets are created to determine all possible arrangement sequences of a single data point. 
  • A permutation is used in many events of daily life. It is used for a list of data where the data order matters.

Combination:

Combination is the method of forming subsets by selecting data from a larger set in a way that the selection order does not matter.

  • Combination refers to the combination of about n things taken k at a time without any repetition.
  • The combination is used for a group of data where the order of data does not matter.
