Permutations

A permutation is an arrangement of multiple objects in a particular order taken a few or all at a time. The formula for permutation is as follows:

\(^nP_r = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}\)

 nPr = permutation

 n = total number of objects

 r = number of objects selected

Types of Permutation

  • Permutation of n different things where repeating is not allowed
  • Permutation of n different things where repeating is allowed
  • Permutation of similar kinds or duplicate objects
