Respuesta :

A)

If the order of choice is taken into consideration, we consider four possibilities for the first choice and three for the second. Then the total number of ways is given by:

[tex]4\cdot3=12[/tex]

B)

If the order of choices is not taken into consideration, we must divide the the previous result by 2, which is the total number of ways by which we can organize two letters (ex: AB and BA):

[tex]\frac{12}{2}=6[/tex]
