3. PERMUTATION
β’An arrangement of objects in a definite
order or the ordered arrangement of
distinguishable objects without allowing
repetitions among objects.
7. Match Me!
β’ How many ways can you match the outfits when
you have three pants and three tops on hand?
8. β’How many ways can you match the outfits
when you have three pants and three tops
on hand?
β’Can you do this systematically? Can do you
do it in less time and become accurate
about it?
10. Thus, there are nine resulting
outfits one can make out of
the three different pants and
three different tops.
11. Fundamental Counting Principle
(FCP)
β’The manner of solving by
multiplying the number of elements
of two or more events to find the
total number of outcomes for those
events to occur.
12. Types of Permutation
1.Permutation of n objects
2.Distinguishable permutation
3.Permutation of n objects taken r at a
time
4.Circular Permutation.
13. Permutation of n objects
The permutation of n objects is equal
to n factorial)
14. How many arrangements are there?
1. Arranging different 3 portraits on a wall
3! = 6
15. 2. arranging 4 persons in a row for a picture taking
4! = 24
3. Arranging 5 different figurines in a shelf
5! = 120
4. Arranging 6 different potted plats in a row
6! = 720
5. Arranging digits of the number 123456789
9! = 362, 880
17. How many arrangement are there?
1. Arranging the digits in the number 09778210229
P =
11!
2!2!2!3 !
= 831 600
2. Drawing one by one and arranging in a row 4
identical blue, 5 identical yellow, and 3 identical red
balls in a bag
P =
12!
3!4!5!
= 27 720
18. 4. Arranging these canned goods
P =
3!
3!2!2!
= 1680
3. Arranging the letters in the word LOLLIPOP
P =
ππ!
π!π!
= ππ πππ
19. Permutation of n objects taken r
Permutation of n taken r at a
time where n β₯ r
20. How many arrangements are there?
1. Choosing 3 posters to hang on a wall from 5
posters you are keeping
22. 2.Taking two βletter word, without repetition of
letters, from the letters of the word LOVED.
Example: LO, OE,VDβ¦
nPr =
π!
π βπ !
5P2 =
5!
5 β2 !
5P2 =
5!

5P2 = 20
Notation:

24. Circular Permutation
If n objects are arranged in a circle, then there
are
π!
π
ππ π β 1 !
πππππ’π‘ππ‘πππ ππ π‘βπ π ππππππ‘π ππππ’ππ π‘βπ ππππππ.
25. How many arrangements are there?
1. How many ways can 5 people sit
around a circular table?
P = (5 β 1) !
P = 4 !
P = 24
26. Letβs analyze the situation using the illustration.
Then, P =
5!
5
=
5 π₯ 4!
5
= 1 π₯ 4! = 4! = 24
Therefore, five people can be arranged around
in 24 different ways.
27. 2.Ten boys scouts are to be seated around a
campfire. How many ways can they be
arranged?
β’Solution:
P =
10!
10
=
10 π₯ 9!
10
P = 9!
P = 362, 880
Therefore, there are
362, 880 ways to
arrange the ten boy
scouts around a
campfire.
28. 3. Eight people are to be seated at a roundtable.
One of them is to be seated close to the window.
How many arrangements are possible?
β’Solution:
P = n! = 8! = 40, 320
Therefore, there are 40, 320 arrangements possible.
Note: if n objects on a circle are arranged relative to a fixed
point, then there are n! permutations even though the
objects are on a circle, the permutations are linear since a
reference point has been establish
29. 4. How many different ways can four keys, no two of
which are the same, be arranged on a key-ring that has
a clasp?
β’ Solution:
P =
π!
2
=
4!
2
P=
24
2
= 12
β’ Therefore, there are 12 ways to arrange the four keys, no two of
which are the same, on a key -ring
Note; this is no longer a case of an ordinary circular permutation
since objects are arranged with respect to a fixed point, the clasp
and is reflective. In this case there are
π!
