PERMUTATIONS
A permutation is an arrangement
of n objects with no repetitions
and the order is important.
For n = 3

How many permutations are there?

1. 4.

2. 5.

3. 6.

3 x 2 x 1 = 6 permutations
For n = 4 A B C D
Some permutations are:

ABCD
BACD How many

4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 24 permutations
The number of permutations of n
distinct objects taken n (or all) at a
time is n!.

 A photographer is taking a group
picture of
5 people in a row . In how many ways
can
this be done if

a. There are no restrictions.

5 P5 = 5! = (5)(4)(3)(2)(1) = 120
 b. Mel and Vic insist on standing
next to each other.
Consider Mel and Vic as one object. So, we have 4 objects
to arrange in a row and there are 4P4 = 4! = 24 ways.
For each of these arrangements, there are two ways to
arrange Mel and Vic : Mel-Vic or Vic-Mel
By FPC, the total number of arrangements is
2 (4 P4) = 2(4!) = 48 ways
c. Mel and Vic refuse to stand
next to each other.
There are 5! ways to arrange the 5 people. Of these 120
ways, Mel and Vic stand together in 2( 4P4) ways.
Therefore, in all the remaining, Mel and Vic stand apart.
5! – 2 (4 P4) = 120 - 48 = 72 ways

OM
To distinguish the two M’s, we use two
colors
MOM (same as) MOM
MMO (same as) MMO
OMM (same as) OMM
There are actually only 3
distinct permutations.

arrange the remaining (n-1)
objects in
