I think the first one might be C) 24 and the second one could be D) 10. I'm not sure though, so can someone please check! Thanks!

Yes it's 24, because,
4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 24 ways

(2)
You'll choose 2 pairs of jeans from 7 pairs. Order of the items does not matter, so we'll use combinations:
nCr = n! / ( r! (n - r)! )
Thus,
7C2 = 7! / (2! (7 - 2)! )
7C2 = 21

No, for #1 it starts at 3 not 4 (3x2x1 is the correct way) like you did. So it would be 6 for #1.
Answered by Sam
No, n. 1. does start at 4 because its You + 3 friends.
