This is a permutation question
From 10 cities 4 needs to be selected and arranged.
Hence 10P4 = 5040 (option E)

A certain travel agency organizes sightseeing tours. Each client may select the cities she wishes to visit and the order in which she visits them. If each tour must include exactly 4 cities, and if there are exactly 10 cities available, how many different tours are possible?

A. 24
B. 210
C. 420
D. 2,400
E. 5,040


­
Ways to choose first city = 10
Ways to choose 2nd city = 9
ways to choose 3rd city = 8
Ways to choose 4th city = 7
Thus total ways = 10.9.8.7 = 5040

Deconstructing the Question

We must select exactly 4 cities from 10, and the order of visiting them matters.

So this is a permutation problem: choose and arrange 4 cities.

Step-by-step

First choose 4 cities:

\(\binom{10}{4} = 210\)

Then arrange those 4 cities:

\(4! = 24\)

Multiply:

\(210 \cdot 24 = 5040\)

Answer E
