Mathematics

I. OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
A. differentiate permutation from combination;
B. solve problems in real life involving combination;
C. relate the importance of combination in solving real life problems
II. SUBJECT MATTER
A. Topic Application of Combination in Solving Real Life Problems
B. Reference Mathematics Learners’ Module, Grade 10 pages 301-310
C. Materials: Visual Aids, chalk
III. PROCEDURE
Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity
A. Motivation
Good morning, class?

Good morning, ma’am.

So based on our last discussion. What is
combination again class?

Combination where “The order is not

What about in permutation? important.”

Very good. So in finding combination. What is the Permutation where “The order is important.”
formula, class?

n!
nCr =
r ! (n−r )!
B. Presentation
So today let’s discuss more about the combination
dealing with real life situations and this is what we
call the “Application of Combination in real life
Problems.”
C. Discussion
So before we discuss our main topic I want you to
differentiate permutation from combination in real
life situation in order for you to know the
differences.

So take note class in PERMUTATION the order is

not important for example:
1. Counting numbers
2. Our clothes that we’re wearing
3. Easy 2 lotto
While in combination, the order is not important
for example:
1. Fruit Salad
2. Superman Costume
3. 6/42 Lotto
Did you understand class?

So let’s talk about the activities on the board and

answer the following if the situation is
“Combination or Permutation” Yes ma’am.

1. Opening combination lock

2. Choosing 5 questions to answer out of 10
questions in a test
3. Winning in a contest
P
4. Selecting 7 people to form a student affairs
committee C

5. Assigning seats to guests at dinner.

6. Listing the elements of subsets of a given set. C

7. Entering the PIN of your ATM card. P

8. Selecting 3 poster to hang out of 6 different

posters. P
9. Determining the top three winners in a Math C
Quiz Bee.
P
10. Choosing three of your classmates to attend the
party. C
P

Did you understand the differences of combination C

and permutation class? P
C
So let’s proceed to our main topic in solving
combination in real life problems.
Example:
1. How many different teams of 8 can be chosen
from 12 players?
Solution: Yes ma’am.

Number of teams of 8 from 12 players

= 12C8 answer 495

2. Find the number of ways of selecting 2 vowels

and 2 consonants from the letters of the set {I, N,
T, E , R, V, A, L}

Solution
- The number of vowels in the set = 3
{I, E, A}
- The number of consonants = 5
3. A bucket contains the following marbles 4 red, - { N, T, R, V, L}
3, blue, 4 green and 3 yellow making 14 total
Answer 3C2 x 3C5 = 30
marbles. In how many ways can we select 4
marbles such that The number of selecting 2 vowels from 2
consonants from the letters of the given set is
a. they are of different colors.
30.

b. at least 2 are red?

*(4C1) (3C1)(4C1)(3C1)
Answer = 144

c. None are red, but at least one is given

Solution
C(4,2) * C(10, 2) = 270 2 red
C(4,3) * C(10, 1) = 40 3red
= 1 4 red
311
So there are 311 at least 2 are red.

Solution:
Since we cannot have red, instead of 14
marbles, we are down to 10.

Did you understand class? C(4, 1) * (6, 3) = 80

C(4, 2) * (6, 2) = 90
C(4,3) * (6, 1) = 24

4C4 = 1

D. Generalization 195

So again, let’s now review. What is the difference

of COMBINATION and PERMUTATION?
 Yes ma’am

Ma’am, in combination orders are not

important while in permutation, order is
important.

E. Application
“by two’s”
Direction: Answer the following.
1. A box contains 5 color pencils. How many 5C3=10
different sets of pencils can be chosen from it?

2. How many different committees with two males

4C2 X 3C1= 18
and I female can be selected from a set of 4 males
and 3 females?

3. How many 4 card hands that contain exactly

aces and 1 queen can be chosen from a 52 card
deck? 4 C3 X 4C1

4. A box contains 3 red distinct balls and 2 white

distinct balls. In how many ways can we select 2
balls such that

a. none is red
a .2C2 =1
b. there is at most 2 white balls
b. 2C2 – none is white
c. one is red and 1 is white
2C1 x 3C1 – one white

3C2 – two is white

10
So there are 10 white balls

c. 3 C1 x 2C1 =6
IV. EVALUATION
Direction: Answer the following with complete solution
1. How many ways can a committee of three members be selected from a set of 10 students?
2. How many possible ways can 3 males and 2 females can be selected from a set of 6 males and
5 females?
3. How many ways can a committee of 5 members from 20 people?
4. In how many ways can a student answer 5 out of 8 questions if he is required to answer 3 out
of the first 4 questions?
5. How many different committees with 4 members can be formed a group with 7 seniors and 6
juniors if:
a. they are all seniors
b. they are all juniors
c. they are 3 seniors and 1 junior?
d. they are equal number of seniors and juniors in each committee?
6. A box contains 7 distinct red balls, 5 distinct white balls and 3 distinct green balls. In how
many ways can we select 3 balls such that
a. two are red and one is white
b. there is at least 1 green ball
