Permutations And Combinations — Syllabus & Topics

Topics covered in Permutations And Combinations for MET Mathematics.

Topics in Permutations And Combinations

1

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
2

Factorial Notation and Basic Formulas

  • n! = 1 × 2 × 3 × ... × (n-1) × n
  • 0! = 1 by definition
  • n! is undefined for negative numbers and fractions
3

Permutations

  • Permutation is arrangement of objects in definite order
  • Order matters in permutations
  • ⁿPᵣ represents permutations of n objects taken r at a time
4

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)
