Answer :

In this case, the order doesn't matter and the colors cant be repeated.

Now, we need to use the permutation formula:

[tex]P(n,r)=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}[/tex]

Where n represents the total different available colors and r is equal to

the number of doors.

Replacing on the permutation formula:

[tex]P(10,3)=\frac{10!}{(10-3)!}[/tex][tex]P(10,3)=\frac{10!}{7!}[/tex][tex]P(10,3)=\frac{10x9x8x7!}{7!}[/tex][tex]P(10,3)=10x9x8![/tex]

Then

[tex]P(10,3)=\frac{10x9x8x7!}{7!}[/tex][tex]P(10,3)=720[/tex]

Hence, there are 720 possible arrangements for the doors.
