Did you get the

answers? Are you ready
to continue?
Let us now proceed to the
next part of this module to
deepen your knowledge
about permutations.

 What is It

A. What is Permutation?

Permutation is an arrangement or listing of an object where order is

important.

Example: The set of the letters m, a, j, if we use all of them, can be

arranged in the following orders:

maj ajm jam

mja amj jma

Thus, there will be 6 permutations.

The permutation of n objects taken r at a time is denoted as:

𝐧
P(n,r) or nPr 𝐨𝐫 ( )
𝐫
B. Counting Techniques to Determine All Possible Outcomes and Number
of Arrangements
1. Tree Diagram is a device used to list all possibilities of a sequence of
events in a systematic way.

Example: Tossing a coin three times. Using the tree diagram, we can
find all possible outcomes.

All possible outcomes can be listed as shown at the right column.

5
 2. Fundamental Counting Principle is also known as Multiplication
Rule.
In a sequence of events in which the first one has m1 possibilities,
the second has m2 possibilities, the third has m3, and so on, and the
total number of possible outcomes will be
𝑚1 ∙ 𝑚2 ∙ 𝑚3 ∙ … ∙ 𝑚𝑛

where n is the number of events.

Example: In an eatery menu, there are 3 kinds of vegetable dishes, 5
kinds of meat dishes, 2 kinds of desserts and 3 kinds of drinks. In how many
ways can you choose what to have if you order one from each group?

Solution: You can choose one vegetable dish, 1 meat dish, 1 dessert
and 1 drink. The total number of possible choices are:

3 × 5 × 2 × 3 = 90

C. Permutations of Objects

1. Permutation of n objects taken n at a time

Formula: 𝑃(𝑛, 𝑛) = 𝑛!

Example 1: P(5,5)=?

Solution: 𝑃(5,5) = 5! = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 120

Example 2: In how many ways can you arrange 6 different potted

plants in a row?

Solution: 𝑃(6,6) = 6! = 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 720 𝑤𝑎𝑦𝑠

2. Permutation of n objects taken r at a time

𝑛!
Formula: 𝑃(𝑛, 𝑟) = ,𝑛 ≥ 𝑟
(𝑛−𝑟)!

Example 1: P (6,3) =?

6! 6! 6×5×4×3×2×1
Solution: 𝑃(6,3) = = = = 120
(6−3)! 3! 3×2×1

6
 Example 2: How many ways can you arrange 3 books in the shelf
from 5 different books?

5! 5! 5×4×3×2×1
Solution: 𝑃(5,3) = = = = 60 𝑤𝑎𝑦𝑠
(5−3)! 2! 2×1

3. Distinguishable Permutations- refers to the arrangements of a set of

objects where some of them are alike.

The number of distinguishable permutations of n objects when p

objects are alike, q objects are alike, r objects are alike, and so on is
given by:

𝑛!
Formula: 𝑃 =
𝑝!×𝑞!×𝑟!…

Example: How many different permutations can be made from the

word MATHEMATICS?

Solution: There are 11 letters of the word. However, 2 M’s are alike,
2 A’s are alike, and 2 T’s are alike. Hence,

11! 11 ∙ 10 ∙ 9 ∙ 8 ∙ 7 ∙ 6 ∙ 5 ∙ 4 ∙ 3 ∙ 2 ∙ 1
𝑃= = = 4,989,600 𝑤𝑎𝑦𝑠
2! × 2! × 2! (2 ∙ 1) ∙ (2 ∙ 1) ∙ (2 ∙ 1)

4. Circular Permutation- it is the arrangements of objects in a circle.

Formula: 𝑃 = (𝑛 − 1)!

Example: How many ways can 9 students sit in a round table?

Solution: 𝑃 = (9 − 1)! = 8! = 40,320 𝑤𝑎𝑦𝑠

answer?

Let’s have more. Enjoy!

15
 What is It

A. Problem Solving Involving Permutation

Example 1: How many arrangements are there in the letters of the word
PHONE?
Given: n=5 r=5
Solution:
P(n,r) = P(5,5) = 5! = 120 ways.
Answer: There 120 ways to arrange the letters of the word PHONE.
Example 2: How many 3-digit codes can be made using the digits 0,
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9?
Given: n=10 r=3
Solution:
10! 10! 10∙9∙8∙7∙6∙5∙4∙3∙2∙1∙
P(n,r) = P(10,3) = = = = 10 ∙ 9 ∙ 8 = 720
(10−3)! 7! 7∙6∙5∙4∙3∙2∙1

Answer: There 720 3-digit codes can be made.

Example 3: How many distinguishable permutations are possible with the

letters of the word ELLIPSES?
Given: n=8 E=2 L=2 S=2
Solution:
𝑛! 8! 8∙7∙6∙5∙4∙3∙2∙1∙
P= = 2!∙2!∙2! = (2∙1)∙(2∙1)∙(2∙1) = 5040
𝑝!∙𝑞!∙𝑟!

Answer: There 5,040 permutations with the letters of the word

ELLIPSES.

Example 4: In how many ways can 10 people sit in a round table?

Given: n=10
Solution:
P = (n-1)! = (10-1)! = 9! = 362880
Answer: There 362, 880 ways for 10 people sit in a round table.

16
B. Problem Solving Involving Permutation Under Some Conditions

Example 1: In how many ways can two children and three adults be
seated in a row if the children are not to sit together?
Given: n(total) = 5 Children = 2 Adult = 3
Solutions:
They have to be arranged in the following way:

A C A C A
The children should be arranged in the 2 places marked “C”.
Number of arrangement (Children)= P(2,2)=2!=2 ways
The adults should be arranged in the 3 places marked “A”.
Number of arrangement (Adults)=P(3,3)=3!=6 ways

Therefore, children and adults can be arranged in 2! × 3! = 2 × 6 = 12.

Answer: There are 12 ways for the children and adults to be

seated.

Example 2: There are 4 Math books, 5 Science books and 3 dictionaries.

In how many ways can you arrange these books so that Math books are
together, Science books are together, and dictionaries are together and, in
the order, Math books, Science books and dictionaries?
Given: Math books=4 Science book=5 Dictionary=3
Solutions:
Since the Math books must be together, the number of
arrangements = P(4,4) = 4! = 24 ways.
The Science books must be together, the number of arrangements
= P(5,5) = 5! = 120 ways.
The dictionaries must be together, the number of arrangements
= P(3,3) = 3! = 6 ways.
And the three set of books can be arranged in P(3,3)=3!=6 ways.
So, by the fundamental counting principle all of them can be
arranged in

P = 4! × 5! × 3! × 3! = 24 × 120 × 6 × 6 = 103,680
Answer: There 103,680 ways to arrange the books.

17
 Example 3: How many 3-digit even numbers can be formed using the
digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
a. if repetition is not allowed?
b. if repetition is allowed?

Solutions:
Note: For a number to be an even, the last digit must end in 0, 2, 4,
6, and 8.
a. repetition is not allowed
Considering the last digit, we have 5 possible choices (0, 2, 4, 6,
8).

For the first digit, we will have 8 possible choices since we cannot
use zero.

And for the second digit we still have 8 possible choices zero is
included.

Therefore, using the fundamental counting principle, the number of 3-

digit number that can be made is 5 × 8 × 8 = 320

Answer: There are 320 3-digit even numbers that can be made if
prepetition is not allowed.

b. repetition is allowed
Considering the last digit, we have 5 possible choices.

For the first digit then we will have 9 possible choices since we
cannot use zero.

And for the second digit we still have 10 possible choices.

Therefore, using the fundamental counting principle, the number of 3-

digit number that can be made is 5 × 9 × 10 = 450
Answer: There are 450 3-digit even numbers that can be made if
prepetition is allowed.

Example 4: How many ways can the letters in the word 'PARALLEL" be
arranged if the letters P and R are together?
Given: n (# of letters) = 8 A=2 L=3

18
 Solutions:
Since P and R are together, we will consider them as one. So, n=7.
Also, P and R can be interchanged, thus,
the number of arrangement of P and R= P(2,2)=2!=2
To find the number of arrangements of all the letters, we will use
the formula in finding distinguishable permutation.
𝑛!
Number of arrangements =𝑝!∙𝑞!∙𝑟!…

7!∙2!
With the given conditions, P=2!∙3! = 840

Answer: There are 840 ways to arrange the letters of the word
PARALLEL if P and R are together.
