Answer:

604800

Explanation:

Given : The ten students in a club are lined up in a row for a group photograph.

To Find: How many different arrangements are possible if the club includes one set of identical triplets wearing matching clothes?

Solution:

The club includes one set of identical triplets wearing matching clothes

So, the remaining students = 10-3 = 7

Now there is an arrangement between these seven students.

Since order has to be maintained .So, we will use permutation

Formula :
^nP_r=(n!)/((n-r)!)

So,
^(10)P_7=(10!)/((10-7)!)


^(10)P_7=(10!)/((3)!)


^(10)P_7= 604800

Hence there are 604800 possible arrangements if the club includes one set of identical triplets wearing matching clothes
