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
