Complex Number Basics

1. Factorials (n!) are used to calculate permutations and combinations. n! represents the product of all natural numbers from 1 to n. 2. Permutations (nPr) refer to arrangements of objects in a set where order matters. Combinations (nCr) refer to arrangements where order does not matter. 3. Formulas are provided to calculate permutations and combinations based on factorials. The number of permutations of n objects taken r at a time is nPr = n!/(n-r)!, and the number of combinations is nCr = n!/(r!(n-r)!).

Permutation and Combination

Important Tips & Tricks:

Factorial

The continued product of first 'n' natural numbers is called the 'n factorial' and is denoted by

n!

i.e n! = 1 × 2 × 3 × 4 × ......... × (n-1) × n

Ex : 4! = 1 × 2 × 3 × 4

1.nPr = n!/(n-r)!

2.nPn = n!

3.nP1 = n

1.nCr = n!/(r! (n-r)!)

2.nC1 = n

3.nC0 = 1 = nCn

4.nCr = nCn-r

5.nCr = nPr/r!
The number of all permutations of n distinct items or objects taken 'r' at a time is n(n-1)(n-
2)...........(n-(r-1)) = n P r

The number of all permutations of n distinct objects taken all at a time is n!


 The number of ways of selecting r items or objects from a group of n distinct items or

objects is

· If there are n subjects of which p 1 are alike of one kind; p 2 are alike of another
kind; p 3 are alike of third kind and so on and p r are alike of r thkind,
such that ( p 1 + p 2 + ... p r ) = n .

Then, number of permutations of these n objects is =


· The number of all combinations of n things, taken r at a time is:
