 III. Procedures

A. Activity
Pick-mutation
Every student will be given a strip of paper which will serve as their bet slip. The
teacher will put letters and numbers inside the box. The students will write only one
possible outcome on the slip. The teacher will collect all the bet slips of the students.
The teacher will pick letters and numbers from the box depending on the given
condition. The student with the same permutation of letters and digits will receive a
class coin.
1. Pick three numbers out of five
2. Pick two letters out of six.
3. Pick three from the box with six letters and five numbers.

B. Analysis
The teacher will let the students answer word problem about permutation
on distinct objects.
1. If there are 8 applicants and only 3 job slots are available, in how
many ways can the jobs be assigned?
𝑛!
𝑃(𝑛, 𝑟) =
(𝑛 − 𝑟)!
8!
𝑃(8,3) =
(8 − 3)!
8!
𝑃(8,3) =
(5)!
8𝑥7𝑥6𝑥5𝑥4𝑥3𝑥2𝑥1
𝑃(8,3) =
5𝑥4𝑥3𝑥2𝑥1
𝑃(8,3) = 8𝑥7𝑥6
𝑷(𝟖, 𝟑) = 𝟑𝟑𝟔 𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔
 2. Find the number of different ways can 10 employees occupy an
office with 10 working desks.

𝑛!
𝑃(𝑛, 𝑟) =
(𝑛 − 𝑟)!

10!
𝑃(10,10) =
(10 − 10)!

10!
𝑃(10,10) =
(0)!

10!
𝑃(10,10) =
1

𝑃(10,10) = 10!

𝑷(𝟏𝟎, 𝟏𝟎) = 𝟑𝟔𝟐𝟖𝟖𝟎𝟎 𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔

The teacher will discuss about distinguishable permutation of objects with

the use of illustrations.
Word Problem:
In how many ways can three oranges, two apples, two watermelons,
grapes, jackfruit, and a mango be arranged?

The given objects above are not all distinct since there are objects that
appear more than once namely; 3 oranges, 2 apples, and 2 watermelons. The
arrangement will not be change even if oranges will switch places. Hence, we use
a different formula which is known as distinguishable permutation.

The number of distinguishable permutations, P, of n objects where p

objects are alike, q objects are alike, and so on, is:
 𝑛!
𝑃=
𝑝! 𝑞! 𝑟!
Let’s represent Oranges to be p, Apples to be r, and watermelons to be q.
Oranges appeared thrice so that will be 3!
Apples appeared twice so that will be 2!
Watermelons appeared twice so that will be 2!
There are 10 objects to be arranged so that will n!
𝑛!
𝑃=
𝑝! 𝑞! 𝑟!
10!
𝑃=
3! 2! 3!
3628800
𝑃=
(6)(2)(2)
3628800
𝑃=
24
𝑷 = 𝟏𝟓𝟏, 𝟐𝟎𝟎

C. Abstraction

The teacher will raise a questions, and will give an example

afterwards.

What if we have an unknown value? Either for n or r?

Word problem:
A librarian wished to arrange 7 books on a mini-shelf. The number
of books that could fit on the shelf is r books. Find the value of r if
the possible ways that the books could be arranged is 840 ways.

𝑛!
𝑃(𝑛, 𝑟) =
(𝑛 − 𝑟)!
7!
840 =
(7 − 𝑟)!
 7!
=6
840
6 = 3!
(7-r)! = 3!
7! - r! = 3!
r! = 7! -3!
r! = 3!
r=3

The teacher will discuss about circular permutation and give an example:
Circular Permutation
The number of circular permutations of n different objects is equal to
the number of linear permutations divided by n.
𝒏(𝒏−𝟏)(𝒏−𝟐)(𝒏−𝟑)…(𝟑)(𝟐)(𝟏)
= (𝒏 − 𝟏)(𝒏 − 𝟐)(𝒏 − 𝟑) … (𝟑)(𝟐)(𝟏) = (n-1)!
𝒏

Example:

Suppose we have 4 people and we wish them to be arranged on a circular

table. In how many ways can this be done?

There are 4 number of objects to be arranged on a circular table. Using the

formula,

(n-1)!

(4-1)!
 3! = 6 possible arrangements

Example: In how many ways can the letters of the word “ELLIPSES” be arranged
in a row?

Solution: There are 8 letters of the word. Of these letters; I, and P appears just
once, while E, L and S appears twice each. Hence, the number of distinct
permutations is given by

𝒏! 𝟖!
𝑷= = = 𝟓, 𝟎𝟒𝟎 𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔
𝒑! 𝒒! 𝒓! 𝟐! 𝟐! 𝟐!

D. Application

Answer the following questions. Show necessary solution.

1. Find the number of distinguishable permutations of the letters of the word
PASS.
2. If P (9, r) =3024, what is r?
3. In a party, there are six visitors that can occupy a table. In how many ways
can the six visitors be seated?
4. What is P (8,5)?
5. Find the number of distinguishable permutations of the letters of the word
EDUCATED?

IV. Assessment
The teacher will let the students answer Journal number 4. Attached
here is a copy of the journal.
 JOURNAL #4: Quarter 3
Activity 1: Using the permutation formula, find the possible ways
events can be done. (10 points)
1. A four-digit pin lock contains 2. If five alphabets are to be chosen from
numbers 1,3, 5, 7. How many A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H such that
possible permutations of the repetition is not allowed, then how many
digits will it have? ways can it be done?

Activity 2: Find the number of the distinguishable permutations

given the following conditions. (20 points)
1. How many distinguishable 2. Find the number of distinguishable
permutations are possible with all permutations of the digits of the number
the letters of the word ELLIPSES? 5711922712.

Activity 3: Solve for the unknown value. (15 points)

1. A teacher wants to assign 9 different tasks to r number of students. Find the

value of r if the teacher can assign the tasks in 3024 possible ways.

V. Agreement
