WHAT IS
PERMUTATION?
Permutation is the
arrangement of objects in a
definitive order. Changing the
order of the objects being
arranged creates a new
permutation.
FORMULA:

- P ( n, r ) 
( n  r )!
- P (n, n)  n!

OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the learning experience,
we should be able to:

taken r at a time through a group activity
2. Develop teamwork and cooperation
through a collaborative activity
3. Solve problems involving combination

 WHAT IS
COMBINATION?
 Combination is the selection of
objects regardless of their order.
Changing the order of the objects
does not create a new
combination.

C ( n, r ) 
r!( n  r )!
 Fernando is a painter
and he wants to paint the
image of the three
presidents of the
Philippines.

the 6 former presidents namely Ferdinand Marcos,
Corazon Aquino, Fidel Ramos, Joseph Estrada,
Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and Benigno Simeon

friends you could invite. How many different combinations
of friends could you choose to join you at the game?
Answer:

COMBINATION IS
IMPORTANT?
 Combination is the selection of

1. The Supreme Court has
given a 6 to 3 decision
upholding a lower court. Find
the number of ways it can give
a majority decision reversing
the lower court.
2. A box contains two white
balls, three black balls, and four
red balls. In how many ways
can three balls be drawn from
the box, if at least one black ball
is to be included in the draw?

3. How many triangles can be formed by joining 15

points on the plane, in which no line joining any three
points?
1. The Supreme Court has given a 6 to 3 decision upholding a lower court. Find the number
of ways it can give a majority decision reversing the lower court.
Solution:
Upholding a lower court means, supporting it for its decision.
Reversing a lower court means, opposing it for its decision.

In a total of 9 cases (6 + 3 = 9), it may give 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 or 9 decisions reversing the lower

court. And it can not be 4 or less than 4. Because the majority of 9 is 5 or more.
The possible combinations in which it can give a majority decision reversing the lower court are:

,
,

Thus, the total number of ways is

= 126 + 84 + 36 + 9 + 1
= 256
2. A box contains two white balls, three black balls, and four red balls. In how many ways
can three balls be drawn from the box, if at least one black ball is to be included in the draw?
Solution:
Number of white balls = 2
Number of Number of Total
Number of black balls = 3 black balls to red balls to balls to
Number of red balls = 4 be drawn be drawn be drawn
Number of non black balls = 2 + 4 = 6

3 How many triangles can be formed by joining 15 points on the plane, in which no line
joining any three points?
Solution:
From the given question, we come to know that any
three points are not collinear.

By selecting any three points out of 15 points, we draw

a triangle.

Number of ways to draw a triangle = C3
