A girl has 11 objects to arrange on a shelf but there is room for only 7 of them. In how many ways she can arrange 7 of the objects on shelf if her clock must be included ?

If the clock has to be included, then there are six choices left for the objects on the shelf, so you need to find how many sets of 6 items from 10 there are. Then, you need to consider how many ways any set can be arranged (permuted) on the shelf. The total number takes into account each arrangement of each set.

Both, you need to consider the permutations of each combination of 7 objects
