Answer: 60

Explanation:

We know that the permutation is a way of arranging the elements of a set into a order or a sequence .

The number of permutations of n things taken r at a time is given by the following formula:


P(n,r)=(n!)/((n-r)!)


\text{Then , }P(5,3) =(5!)/((5-3)!)\\\\=(5*4*3*2!!)/(2!)=60

Hence, the value of
P(5,3)=60
