7! = 7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 5,040

There are 7 singers competing at the talent show. Thus, 7 singers can appear for the first place. Likewise, the remaining 6 singers can appear for the second place. In a similar fashion, 5 singers can appear for the third place. This will continue in this manner till the last place for which only 1 singer can appear. Therefore, the number of different orders in which the singers can appear is given as:


7* 6* 5* 4* 3* 2* 1=7!=5040

Therefore, out of the given options, second option is correct.
