Answer:

1320

Explanation:

Total number of songs = 12

Number of songs required to arrange in a play list = 3

It means we have to arrange 3 songs from 12 in the play lines. So, required number of ways is


Ways=^(12)P_(3)


Ways=(12!)/((12-3)!)
[\because ^nP_r=(n!)/((n-r)!)]


Ways=(12* 11* 10* 9!)/(9!)


Ways=1320

Therefore, the required number of ways is 1320.
