Basic Concept:

Permutation:
Permutation relates to the act of arranging all the members of a set into same sequence or
order, or if the set is already ordered, rearranging its elements, a process called permuting.

Combination:
Combination is a wat of selecting items from a collection, such that the order of selection does
not matter.

A mathematical set is defined as an unordered collection of elements. On the GMAT, sets

typically are comprised of numbers, either enumerated within the curly brackets { } or
described in words. For example, the set S = {1, 2, 3} contains 1, 2, and 3 as members.

Spider Method:

A simple table to solve any mixture problem, every answer to such problems can be obtain by
looking at this table. The results that you get by subtracting, as I show you in the table, are the
ratios of the substances in the desired mixture.

Formula and shortcuts:

1. n(AUB) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A∩B)
2. n(AUBUC) = n(A) + n(B) + n(C) - n(A∩B) - n(A∩C) - n(B∩C) + n(A∩B∩C)
3. n(AUBUC) = n(A) + n(B) + n(C) – n(exactly two) – 2 × n(all three) + n(neither)
𝐶1𝑄1+𝐶2𝑄2
4. 𝐶 = 𝑄1+𝑄2
C1 = Concentration of the first mixture
C2 = Concentration of the second mixture
Q1 = Quantity of the first mixture
Q2 = Quantity of the second mixture
𝑛!
5. Permutation: nPk = (𝑛−𝑘)!
𝑛!
6. Combination: nCr = 𝑟!(𝑛−𝑟)!
