Answer 1

Total number of arrangements for 5 players = 15,120 arrangements

Explanation:

Given:

Number given from 1 to 9

So,

Total number for jerseys = 9

Find:

Total number of arrangements for 5 players

Computation:

Total number of arrangements for 5 players = 9! / [9! - 5!]

Total number of arrangements for 5 players = 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5

Total number of arrangements for 5 players = 15,120 arrangements
