Lesson
I
After going through this lesson, you are expected to:
1. Illustrate permutation of objects.
2. Derives the formula in finding the permutations of n objects taken r at a time.
3. Solve problems involving permutations.

Learning Task 1

List all the possible three-letter arrangement in the word EAR.

Then, answer the question that follows.

1. How many three-letter arrangements in the word EAR can be formed
satisfying the given conditions.
A. the first letter is E
B. the vowels are together
C. the vowels must NOT be together

D
PERMUTATIONS

A Permutation of the set of objects is an ordered arrangement of the items.

The Permutation of n objects taken r at a time is denoted by P ( n , r ) .

n! "n factorial"
If nis a positive integer, then n! is n multiplied by all the smaller positive integers.

Also, 0! = 1

0! = 1 7! = (7)(6)(5)(4)(3)(2)(1) = 5,040
1! = 1 8! = (8)(7)(6)(5)(4)(3)(2)(1) = 40,320
2! = (2)(1) = 2 9! = (9)(8)(7)(6)(5)(4)(3)(2)(1) = 362,880
3! = (3)(2)(1) = 6 10! = (10)(9)(8)(7)(6)(5)(4)(3)(2)(1) = 3,628,800
4! = (4)(3)(2)(1) = 24
5! = (5)(4)(3)(2)(1) = 120 n! is n multiplied by all the positive integers smaller than n.
6! = (6)(5)(4)(3)(2)(1) = 720
FACT:
n! is the number of different ways to arrange (permutations of) n objects.

There are basically two types of permutation:

 Permutation with repetition:
Illustrative Example #1
How many 3-digits number can be formed from (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) if repetition is allowed.

Solution:
When a thing has n different types ... we have n choices each time!
(In other words, there are n possibilities for the first choice, THEN there are n possibilities
for the second choice, and so on, multiplying each time.)

“3 digits lang dun sa 10 numbers ang kukunin, na pwedeng maulit lahat ng number”
n∗n∗n
10 * 10 * 10
1000 ways

 Permutation without Repetition:

Illustrative Example #2
How many 3-digits number can be formed from (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) if repetition is NOT allowed.

Solution:
“3 digits lang dun sa 10 numbers ang kukunin, pero, hindi na pwedeng maulit ‘yung number na nakuha
mon a. Ibig sabihin sa kasunod na pagpili mo, mababawasan na yung bilang ng pamimilian mo.”
n*n*n n = 10
10 * 9* 8 or n! = 10!
720 ways 10 * 9 * 8 =720 ways

REMEMBER:

Permutation of N objects taken R at a Time

The permutation of n object taken r at a time is:
n!
P ( n , r )= , n ≥r
( n−r ) !

And the Permutation of n objects taken all objects at a time is:

P ( n , r )=n !

Illustrative Example #3
There are 8 horses in a race. If all we are concerned with are the first, second and third
place finishers (the trifecta), how many different orders of finish are possible?
Solution:
Given: n = 8; r = 3 (first, second, third)
n!
P ( n , r )=
( n−r ) !

8! 8x 7 x6 x5 x 4 x 3x 2x 1 8 x 7 x6 x5
P ( 8,3 )= = = =1,680 ways
( 8−3 ) ! 4 x3 x2 x1 1

Illustrative Example #4
In how many ways is it possible for 15 students to arrange themselves among 15 seats in
the front row of an auditorium?
Given: n = 15; r = 15
Solution:
 P ( n , r )=n !
P ( 15,15 )=15 !
¿ 15 x 14 x 13 x 12 x 11 x 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1
¿ 1 ,307 ,674 ,368,000 ways

Distinct or Distinguishable Permutations

It refers to the permutations of a set of objects where some of them are alike.
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 !…

Illustrative Example #5
Find the number of permutations of the letters of the word STATISTICS.
Solution:
Given: n = 10(letters); s =3, t = 3, i = 2
“yung tatlong letter lang may katulad kaya yun lang gagamitin”

n! 10! 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1
P= = =
p ! q ! r 3 ! 3! 2! (3 x 2 x 1)( 3 x 2 x 1)(2 x 1)
10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4
P=
(3 x 2 x 1)(2 x 1)
10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 5 x 4
P=
(2 x 1)
10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 5 x 4
P=

100,800
P= =50,400 ways

Circular Permutations
It is the different possible arrangement of objects in a circle. The number of permutations, P, of n
objects around a circle is given by P = (n-1)!

Illustrative Example #6
In how many ways can 3 people be seated around a circular table?
Given: n = 3
P = (n-1)!
P= (3-1)!
P = (2)!
P = 2x1
P = 2 ways
