What is Permutation?

The permutation of objects is still a counting principle that considers the

specific arrangement of objects. That is, AB is not the same as BA.
These two are different arrangements. Hence in permutation, there is a
specific ordering of objects.

Permutation of objects refers to a specific ordering of objects in each

arrangement without repetition. The number of elements n taken r at a
time is denoted by nPr. The total number of permutations of n distinct
elements taken r at a time is given by the formula:

𝑛!
𝑛𝑃𝑟 = ; 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 0 ≤ 𝑟 ≤ 𝑛
(𝑛 − 𝑟)!
Where,

𝐼𝑓 𝑛 = 𝑟, 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝑛𝑃𝑟 = 𝑛!
𝑛! 𝑛!
𝐼𝑓 𝑟 = 0, 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝑛𝑃0 = = =1
(𝑛 − 0)! 𝑛!
𝑛! 𝑛(𝑛 − 1)!
𝐼𝑓 𝑟 = 1, 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝑛𝑃1 = = =𝑛
(𝑛 − 1)! 𝑛(𝑛 − 1)!

Factorial (in symbol!)- talks about getting the product of a positive integer and all the positive integers
less than the given integer.

Example: 4! = 4x3x2x1= 24
 Evaluate (permutation of n objects taken r at a time).

1. 10𝑃6 (The permutation of 10 objects taken 6 at a time)

Given: 𝑛 = 10, 𝑟 = 6

(10 − 6)! 4! 4!

2. 4𝑃1

4𝑃1 = 4!
𝑛!
𝑛𝑃𝑟 =
(𝑛 − 𝑟 )!

Solve the following problems:

1. A club has 20 members. They wish to elect officers consisting of
a president, a vice president, a secretary, and a treasurer. How
many sets of officers are possible?
Solution:
Given: 𝑛 = 20, 𝑟 = 4
𝑛!
𝑛𝑃𝑟 =
(𝑛 − 𝑟 )!

available. How many different book arrangements can be made?
Solution:
Given: 𝑛 = 10, 𝑟 = 4
𝑛!
𝑛𝑃𝑟 =
(𝑛 − 𝑟)!
10! 10! 10𝑥9𝑥8𝑥7𝑥6!

3. In how many ways can four boys and five girls be seated in a row
of nine seats if boys and girls are to ocuupy alternate seats?
Given:
n = 5, r = 5 5P5 = 5x4x3x2x1
r = 2, r = 2 2P2 = 2x1
5P5 x 2P2 = (5x4x3x2x1) (2x1)
= 120 x 2

Like (distinguishable) Permutation

Like permutation considers distinct objects. That is, some objects are
alike.
