PERMUTATION AND COMBINATIONS
Fundamental rules of counting
Multiplication Principle: If an operation can be performed in `m' ways and if another operation can be performed in `n' ways then the no of ways in which both the operation can be done simultaneously is m x n ways.
Example: To wear 1 hat and 1 t-shirt from, 3 hats H1, H2, H3 and 4 t-shirts S1, S2, S3, S4
Possible ways H1S1, H1S2, H1S3, H1S4,
H2S1, H2S2, H2S3, H2S4,
H3S1, H3S2, H3S3, H3S4,
Addition Principle: If an operation can be performed in `m' ways and if another operation can be performed in `n' ways then the total no. of ways in which either of the two operations can be performed is `m + n' ways.
FACTORIAL
The continuous product of first n natural numbers is denoted by the symbol n or n! and is read as factorial n or n-factorial. Thus
n! = n(n-1) (n-2)…… 3.2.1, n ( 1
0! = 1 and
Note: Factorial of a negative integer is not defined.
AND : Multiplication, OR : Addition.
Note: If nothing is mentioned it is always assumed that repetition is not allowed.

PERMUTATIONS
Permutation Means Arrangement
Each of the different arrangement that can be made with a given number of objects by taking all or some of the objects at a time without repetition of any object is called permutation.
The number of permutations of n different objects taken r (r ( n) at time will be denoted by the symbol nPr or P(n,r).
There are two types of permutations (i) Linear Permutation (ii) Circular Permutations.
(i) Linear Permutation: Permutations of n different objects taken r at a time is, the total number of ways in which n objects can be arranged at r places in a line and denoted by [pic] or P(n,r) or nPr
(a) The number of permutations of n different objects taken r at a time, when repetition of r objects in the permutation is not allowed is given by [pic] = [pic]Where r ( n.
(b) The number of permutations of n different objects taken all at a time, when 2 specified objects always come together is 2(n-1)!.
(c) The number of permutation of n different objects taken all at a time, when 2 specified objects never come together is (n-2) (n-1)!.
(d) The number of permutations of n different objects taken r at a time, when particular object is to be always included in each arrangement is [pic]
(e) The number of permutations of n different objects taken r at a time, when particular object is never included in each arrangement is [pic]
(f) The number of permutations of n different objects taken r at a time, when repetition of objects in the permutation is allowed, is given by nr.
Some important Results.
1. The number of permutations of n distinct objects taken r at a time, when repetition of objects is allowed, is nr (r>0).
2. The number of permutations of n distinct objects taken r (0 ( r ( n) at a time, when repetition is not allowed, is given by
[pic]
Obviously,
(i) [pic] = 0 for r > n. (ii) [pic]
(iii) [pic]

PERMUTATION OF THINGS NOT ALL DIFFERENT
If ‘n’ object are to be arranged amongst themselves, of which ‘p’ are identical of one type, ‘q’ are identical of another type, ‘r’ identical of a third type and the rest are all different, then the number of permutations, when all ‘n’ objects are arranged amongst themselves, is given by [pic].

Example: Compute the sum of 4 digit numbers which can be formed with the four digits 1, 3, 5, 7, if each digit is used only once in each arrangement.
Solution: The number of arrangements of 4 different digits taken 4 at a time is given by 4! = 24. All the four digits will occur equal number of times at each of the position, namely ones, tens, hundreds, thousands.
Thus, each digit will occur 24/4 = 6 times in each of the position. The sum of digits in one’s position will be 6 (1 + 3 + 5 + 7) = 96. Similar is the case in ten’s hundred’s and thousand’s place.
Therefore, the sum will be 96 + 96x10 + 96x100 + 96x1000 = 106656
Circular permutations: Circular arrangements or permutations are related to arrangement of objects as in case of sitting arrangement in a round table conference etc. In case of circular arrangement permutation is not different unless the order or relative positions of the objects change.
A E
B E A D
C D B C
Both of the above arrangements are same. If a circular arrangement of n objects is to be made we have to first fix one object at a particular place and the remaining objects can be fixed in (n - 1)! ways.
Note: In case of sums where the objects are repeated on necklace ,
garland, it will be [pic]

COMBINATIONS
Combination Mean Selection (or Forming Groups)
A group or a selection which can be formed by taking some or all of a number of objects irrespective of their arrangements is called a combination. Here we are concerned only with the number of things in each selection and not with the order of things.
The number of combinations (or selections) of a ‘n’ different things taken ‘r’ at a time (r ( n) is denoted by the symbol [pic] or C(n,r).
Notes: In permutations each arrangement is regarded as a unique arrangement Eg. While calculating permutations of 3 objects A, B and c even if the internal arrangement changes such as A, B, C C, B, A B, A, C etc. Each of the above arrangement is regarded as different. But sometimes we come across such a situation where order n of the items selected is not important. Such a situation is called problem of combination. For eg. If there are 52 cards and we have to select any 3. Such a problem is called problem of combination.
