How many ways can six people, A, B, C, D, E and F sit in a fow at a movie theater if either C, D or E has to be seated in the 1st seat?
The answer, apparently is: 3x5x4x3x2x1=360
I don't understand how that is the answer. I would have used this formula: nPr(6,3)
Please help I have a test today! :)

So only C D E can seat on the first one wich is 3
if one of C D E sat on the first one he cannot sat on the second or third whch is 5
if two of them seated on the first and second one you left with 4 people
if three of them seated on the first , second and third one you left with 3 people
the 2 and 1 only the first seat is diffrent because on the first seat can only seat three persons
Answer: 3x5x4x3x2x1=360
