Second: Combinations:
Define combination?
The number of choosing (r) objects selected from
(n) distinct objects without regard to order.
Example: Arranging Letters
From the four letters a , b , c , d , choose two letters
without repeating any letter
A) If order is important
B) If order is not important
Solution
A If order is important there are 4P2 = 4x3 = 12
possible selection namely
ab ac ad ba bc bd ca cb cd da db dc = 12 selection
B) If order is not important: only 6 selection listed
namely
ab ac ad ba bc bd = 6 selection only

Example: In Elhoda factory, we find in the purchase
department that there is 10 men and 5 ladies. How many
ways can we form a committee consists of 4 persons
provided that:-
1- Number of men equal number of ladies In the
committee.
2- The committee contains at least two men.
3- The committee contains two members or less from
men.
4- The committee contains less than two members from
men.
5- The committee contains two ladies at the most
6- The committee contains more than two ladies
7- The committee contains two ladies and more
Solution
1- Number of men equal number of ladies In the
committee.

5- The committee contains two ladies at the most
Note: the word at the most means decreasing in
number
5 10 5 10 5 10
So the number of ways = C x C + C x C + C x C

Note: Try to verify these following mathematical
formulas by your self
n n 5 5
1- C = C so C = C =1
0 n 0 5
n n 10 10 100 100
2- C = C so C = C also C = C

Observe:
1- The power of (x) of the first term begins at n and
decreasing by 1
2- The power of A (The second term) begins with Zero
and increase by 1
Example 1 : by using Binomial theorem find the
