    This document contains 10 multiple choice permutation and combination questions with solutions. It begins by defining permutation as rearranging the members of a set into a sequence where order is regarded. The questions evaluate various permutation and combination problems, such as calculating 5P4 and 8P3, determining the number of ways to arrange words with repeating letters, and counting arrangements of seeds planted in a row. The document emphasizes the formulas n! for permutation and n!/(n-r)! for combinations in solving these problems.
