Topics covered in Permutations And Combinations for BITSAT Mathematics.
Topics in Permutations And Combinations
Fundamental Principle of Counting
- Two basic principles: Multiplication Principle and Addition Principle
- Multiplication Principle: If first operation can be done in m ways and second in n ways, both together can be done in m × n ways
- Addition Principle: If one operation can be done in m ways OR another in n ways, either can be done in (m + n) ways
Factorial Notation and Basic Formulas
- n! = 1 × 2 × 3 × ... × (n-1) × n
- 0! = 1 by definition
- n! is undefined for negative numbers and fractions
Permutations
- Permutation is arrangement of objects in definite order
- Order matters in permutations
- ⁿPᵣ represents permutations of n objects taken r at a time
Combinations
- Combination is selection of objects where order doesn't matter
- ⁿCᵣ represents combinations of n objects taken r at a time
- Also written as C(n,r) or (n choose r)
