Number of Ways = ₄P₄ = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are going to be 4 dignitaries, and that they are sensitive to the order (i. e the order of the dignitaries matter), hence the total number of ways they can be arranged can be found by permutating 4 dignitaries.

i. e

Number of Ways = ₄P₄ = 24
