Here are the three cards you chose:

___ / ___ / ___

How many possibilities for the first card?  How many for the second card (be careful!)?  How many for the third?

I think it just means "How many different ways are there to order three cards taken from four cards?"

ganpat · Answer

No of ways, 3 cards can be take from 4.. 4C3 = 4

and arranging those 3 cards = 3! =  3*2*1 = 6

so total ways = 4 *6 = 24.. 

This might be answer..
