Very Good!

What is circular permutation and its formula? Circular permutation is the number of
 permutations of n things in a circle.
P=(n-1)
This is so by fixing an object in just one
position.
Very well said!

3. Analysis
How do you come up with your answer?
Do you encounter any difficulties?

Based on our activity what do you think is our

topic for today?

Very good!

A combination is a way of selecting a set of

amount of (r) things out of a larger group of
(n) objects. The order that the things are
selected does not matter.

There are two types of combination:

1. Combination without repetition

n!
C (n,r) =
r ! ( n−r ) !
Note: no repetition, order doesn’t matter

2. Combination with repetition

(n+r −1)
C (n,r) =
r ! ( n−1 ) !

Combination without repetition example.

1. How many combinations are possible

from the letters A, B, C, D and E if the
letters are taken:
a. 2 at a time
n=5
r=2

Apply the combination without repetition

n!
C (n,r) =
r ! ( n−r ) !

5!
C (5,2) =
2! ( 5−2 ) !

5!
=
2! ( 3 ) !

5(4 )(3)(2)(1)
=
2 (1 ) 3 ( 2 ) (1)

= 5(2)
= 10 possible ways.
b. 4 at a time
n=5
r=4

n!
C (n,r) =
r ! ( n−r ) !
 5!
C (5,4) =
4 ! ( 5−4 ) !

5!
=
4 ! ( 1) !

5(4 )(3)(2)(1)
C (5,4) =
4(3)(2)(1)

= 5 ways.

2. How many combinations are possible

from the letters of the word
“POLICY” if the letters are taken:
a. 2 at a time
Apply the formula;
n=6
r=2
Apply the formula;
n!
C (n, r) =
r ! ( n−r ) !
6!
C (6,2) =
2! ( 6−2 ) !
6!
=
2! ( 4 ) !
6 ( 5 )( 4 ) ( 3 ) ( 2 )( 1 )
=
2 (1 ) 4 ( 3 ) (2 )( 1 )
= 3(5)
C (6,2) = 15 ways

b. 3 at a time
n=6
r=3
Apply the formula;
n!
C (n, r) =
r ! ( n−r ) !
6!
C (6,3) =
3! ( 6−3 ) !
6!
=
3! (3 ) !
6 ( 5 )( 4 ) ( 3 ) ( 2 )( 1 )
=
3(2) ( 1 ) 3 ( 2 )( 1 )
= (5)(4)
C (6,3) = 20 ways
Did you get it class?

Combination with repetition example

1. In ice cream house there are five

flavors of ice cream; chocolate,
vanilla, caramel, mango and ube.
Select a combination of 3 flavors of
ice cream.

Apply the combination with repetition

( n+r−1 ) !
C (n,r) =
r ! ( n−1 ) !

( 5+3−1 ) !
C (5,3) =
3 ! ( 5−1 ) !

7!
=
3! ( 4 ) !

7(6)(5)(4 )(3)(2)(1)
=
3 ( 2 )( 1 ) 4 ( 3 )( 2 ) (1)

= 7(5)
= 35 ways.
Can you follow class?

1. In how many ways can 8 friends form

teams of 4 persons to play card?
n=8
r=4

Apply the formula:

( n+r−1 ) !
C (n, r) =
r ! ( n−1 ) !

( 8+4−1 ) !
C (8,4) =
4 ! ( 8−1 ) !
 11 !
=
4 ! (7 )!

11 (10 )( 9 )( 8 )( 7 )( 6 ) ( 5 ) ( 4 )( 3 )( 2 ) ( 1 )
=
4 ( 3 ) ( 2 )( 1 ) 7 ( 6 ) (5 )( 4 ) ( 3 ) ( 2 )( 1 )

= 11(5)(3)(2)

C (8,4) = 330 ways

2. In a class of 8 boys and 5 girls, how

many ways can a committee made up
of 3 boys and 2 girls?

Boys

apply the formula:

( n+r−1 ) !
C (n,r) =
r ! ( n−1 ) !

( 8+3−1 ) !
C (8,3) =
3 ! ( 8−1 ) !

10 !
=
3! (7 ) !

10 ( 9 )( 8 )( 7 )( 6 )( 5 ) ( 4 ) (3)(2)( 1)
=
3 ( 2 ) ( 1 ) 7(6)(5)(4)(3)(2)(1)

= 10(3)(4)
C (8,3) = 120 ways

Girls
n=5
r=2

apply the formula:

( n+r−1 ) !
C (n,r) =
r ! ( n−1 ) !
A combination is a way of selecting a set of
amount of (r) things out of a larger group of
( 5+2−1 ) ! (n) objects. The order that the things are
C (5,2) =
2! (5−1 ) ! selected does not matter.
