Permutation
Permutation is an arrangement of a group of
things in a definite order, that is, there is a first
object, a second, a third, etc. In other words, the
order of arrangement of the objects are important.

Objectives
At the end of the learning session, you should be able to illustrate the
following:
2. Distinguishable Permutation;
4. Circular Permutation.
Let’s Try This!
In how many ways can 5 boys and 3 girls be seated in a row of 8 seats
if the ends are to be occupied by boys?
Permutation
Permutation is the arrangement of objects considering the order of the
objects. In short, order matters.

3. 17 𝑃9
EXAMPLE
1. In how many ways can 12 students can be seated in a single row
of eight chairs?
Distinguishable Permutation
Distinguishable Permutation is a type of permutation that can be
distinguished from one another. Usually, words are being used as
examples.
𝒏!
We use the formula, ,
𝒏𝟏 !𝒏𝟐 !…𝒏𝒌 !
where 𝑛1 ! 𝑛2 ! … 𝑛𝑘 ! are the repeated items.
EXAMPLE
Find the number of distinct permutations of the letters in the word
SITSIRITSIT.
EXAMPLE
In the parking lot of a car manufacturing company, there are 12 new identical cars where 2
of them are red, 3 are blue, 5 are yellow, and 2 are white. In how many ways can the 12
cars be arranged?
LINEAR PERMUTATION
Linear Permutation is a type of permutation where the
arrangement of objects is in a form of a line or in a row.

CIRCULAR PERMUTATION
Circular Permutation is a type of permutation where the
arrangement of objects is in a form of a fix circle.
