    Since the problem is concerned of the arrangement in the first row, this can be solved through permutation. Above is a permutation of 14 taken 6 which can be easily solved through the calculator or through the equation,

    14P6 = (14!) / (14-6) !

    = 2162160

    Thus, the answer is letter A.

    This is a permutation problem with 14 elements that can only be taken 6 at a time. In permutation notation,

    14P6

    which in factorial form is

    14! / (14 - 6) !

    which is equal to

    = 2162160

    The answer is

    2,162,160 different ways
