Our club has 20 members, 10 boys and 10 girls. In how many ways can we choose a president and a vice-president and a secretary if we have no restrictions other than the same person can't hold both offices?

We  are counting sets and orders within those sets....a permutation  will do this.....

 

The number of ways  is P(20,3)   = 6840
