Number of ways of arranging ‘r’ objects out of ‘n’
available distinct objects
Example In a train 3 seats are vacant then in how many ways can 5 passengers sit
Example How many 4 letter words be created using the letters of the word MONKEY
(words may be meaningless)
Number of ways of arranging ‘ n ’ objects out of ‘ n ‘
available distinct objects

word DELHI. (words may be meaningless)
Example How many numbers of five digits can be formed from the numbers
2, 0, 5, 3, 7 when repetition of digit is not allowed
Example Words are created by rearranging letters of the word TABLE and arranged
alphabetically. Then what is the position of the word TABLE.

which ‘p’ are alike of one kind and ‘q’ are alike of second
kind and ‘r’ are distinct

EXAMPLE:
