2. There are some typical questions from this area which you should be aware of.
3. While practicing, try solving questions with more than one method and then see which of the method takes the least time.

What is permutation and combination formula?

What is the formula for permutations and combinations? The formula for permutations is: nPr = n!/(n-r)! The formula for combinations is: nCr = n!/[r!

Is repetition allowed in permutation?

Permutations: order matters, repetitions are not allowed. (regular) Combinations: order does NOT matter, repetitions are not allowed. Combinations WITH Repetitions: order does NOT matter, repetitions ARE allowed.

Why do we multiply in permutations?

The multiplication principle allows us to count the number of ways to complete a sequence of tasks by multiplying together the number of ways to complete each task. A permutation is a specific ordering of some objects.

Who invented permutation and combination?

By considering the ratio of the number of desired subsets to the number of all possible subsets for many games of chance in the 17th century, the French mathematicians Blaise Pascal and Pierre de Fermat gave impetus to the development of combinatorics and probability theory.

Does order matter in permutation?

When the order doesn’t matter, it is a Combination. When the order does matter it is a Permutation.

What is r in permutation?

They describe permutations as n distinct objects taken r at a time. Translation: n refers to the number of objects from which the permutation is formed; and r refers to the number of objects used to form the permutation. Consider the example from the previous paragraph.

What is circular permutation?

Circular permutation is the total number of ways in which n distinct objects can be arranged around a fix circle.
