Hitesh has a row of 6 hangers on which he can hang his formal shirts. He has 3 identical white shirts, and one blue shirt to hang on the hangers. In how many different orders could he hang the shirts on the hangers?

A. 4
B.30
C. 60
D. 120
E. 360

we need to order 6 items : W W W B X X (X is empty spaces) and order counts.
we just use the permutations formula with repited elemets (3 W and 2 X)

P = 6! / (2!*3!) = 60

IMO C

Your approach is correct!

Hi Guys, Correct me if my reasoning is somehow wrong, I considered how I could get 4 hangers out of 6: 6!/4!2!, then I considered how these 4 could be placed considering that there are 3 identical items:4!3! to come up with 15*4 so 60
