Answer:
There are 60 permutations that can be formed from the first five letters of the alphabet.
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of three letter permutations that can be formed from the first five letters of the alphabet is [tex]5P_{3}[/tex].
[tex]5P_{3} =\frac{5!}{(5-3)!}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{5!}{2!}[/tex]
= 60
Hence, there are 60 permutations that can be formed from the first five letters of the alphabet.
