Raial has 7 different posters to be hanged in her bedroom, living room and kitchen. Assuming she has plans to place at least a poster in each of the 3 rooms, how many choices does she have?

A.

49

B.

170

C.

21

D.

210

Correct answer is D

The first poster has 7 ways to be arranges, the second poster can be arranged in 6 ways and the third poster in 5 ways.

= 7 x 6 x 5

= 210 ways

or \(\frac{7}{P_3}\) = \(\frac{7!}{(7 - 3)!}\) = \(\frac{7!}{4!}\)

= \(\frac{7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4!}{4!}\)

= 210 ways
