All about Permutation & Combinations for the 11 Plus Exam

1. Permutations & Combinations

A permutation is an act of arranging numbers or objects in order. 

For example, if we arrange the letters C, A and P, we get 6 different permutations as follows:

CAP     ACP     PAC   

CPA     APC     PCA

Note that the position of letters is important in a permutation.

The way of selecting the objects from a group of objects is called combinations.

For example, if we wish to choose 2 letters from the group C, A and P, we get 3 combinations as follows:

CA     CP     AP

Here AC = CA because the position of these letters is not important in a combination.

1.1 How to Calculate Permutations & Combinations?

Listing method:

Example: How many different four-digit numbers can be made by using the digits 2, 4, 6 and 8 assuming each digit can be used only once?

Solution:

List down all the three-digit numbers possible using the digits 2, 4 and 8

248   284   482

284   842   824

6 different three-digit numbers can be made. This is the case of permutation as the  position of digits is important here.

Example: How many groups can be made from the word "MATHS" if each group consists of 3 alphabets?

Solution:

List down all the possible groups that can be made using the word ‘MATHS’

  MAT   MAH   MAS   HAT

  AHS   THS   TSM   HSM

  HMT   SAT

Total number of groups = 10

Here MAT = ATM = TAM = TMA as the position is not important here. This is a simple example of a combination.

1.2 Seating Arrangement: Solved Example

There are three people A, B and C and two chairs. In how many ways these three people can occupy the two chairs?

Solution:

Let the boxes below represent two chairs.

List down all the possibilities.

11+ Topicwise Permutation & Combinations Article Image 02

The total number of possibilities = 6

This is the case of permutation as the position of people (A, B and C) is important here.

2. Formula to find Permutations & Combinations

n! is the number of ways of arranging n unlike objects in a line. 

n!(pronounced 'n factorial') = n × (n-1) × (n-2) × .... 3 × 2 × 1

Permutation formula:

The number of ways of arranging n objects, of which a of one type are alike, b of second type is alike, etc is: 

                                 n! ÷ a! b! .....

The number of ways of arranging n unlike objects in a circle or in a ring when clockwise and anticlockwise arrangements are different is (n-1)! When anti-clockwise and clockwise arrangements are the same, the number of ways is 1⁄2(n-1)!

Let us now learn how to apply these formulas using a few examples.

2.1 Solved Examples using formulas

Example: How many six-digit numbers can be formed using the digits given below:

                  3, 5,6,6,7,8

Solution: Number of digits to be arranged i.e. n = 6

               Number of times digit 3 is repeating i.e. a = 2

               Using permutation formula,

               Number of ways in which 6 digits can be arranged

                               = n! ÷ a!

                               = 6! ÷ 2! = 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 ÷ 2 × 1 = 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 = 360

                360 six-digit numbers can be formed using the given digits.

Example: Work out the number of ways in which 6 women can be arranged at the round table.

Solution: Number of women to be arranged at the round table i.e. n = 6

               Using permutation formula for arranging objects in a circle,

               Number of ways = (n - 1)!

                                          = (6 - 1)! 

                                          = 5!

                                          = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1

                                          =120 

               6 women can be arranged at the round table in 120 ways.
