The number of ways in which 8 sweats of different sizes can be distributed among 8 persons of different ages so that the largest sweat goes to the younger assuming that each one of them gets a sweat
-----------------------------
Since the largest goes to the youngest, that leaves 7 to distribute to 7 people.
---
Ans: 7P7 = 7! = 5040 ways
