LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the lesson, you will be able to:
1. defines concepts involving permutations;

2. applies different formula for finding the
number of permutations; and
3. cites instance where permutations are seen
in real-life.
ARE YOU READY?
Supposed we have three letters A, B,
and C, in how many ways can we
arrange these three letters,
differently? Give at least one
arrangement.
So we’ll have,
A-B-C
A-C-B
B-A-C
B-C-A
C-A-B
C-B-A
Therefore, we have 6 POSSIBLE WAYS
PERMUTATIONS
A mathematical calculation of the number
of ways a particular set can be arranged.
With permutations, the order of the
arrangement matters.
COUNTING TECHNIQUES
1. The FPC or the Fundamental
Principle of Counting
2. Tree Diagram and Listing
Method
3. The Factorial Notation
THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE OF COUNTING
If there are m possible ways for an

event to occur, and n possible ways
for another event to occur, then there
are m × n possible ways for both
events to occur.
Example:
Ms. Lita is planning to organize a symposium on
proper waste management for senior high school
students. How many possible ways can she
organize the symposium if she is considering 3
school venues and 2 international speakers?
Given:
Event 1 (m) = choosing a venue = 3 school venues
Event 1 (n) = choosing a speaker = 2 international speakers
Solution: Using the FPC…
No. of possible ways = First Event x Second Event
No. of possible ways = m x n
No. of possible ways = 3 x 2
No. of possible ways = 6 possible ways
Therefore, Ms. Serrano can organize the symposium in 6
possible ways.
TREE DIAGRAM AND LISTING METHOD
Example:
A garment manufacturer has three sets of
choices for producing shirts:
Color = (red, blue)
Size = (small, medium, large)
Sleeve Cuts = (long, short)
• List down all the possible choices?
• How many different kinds of shirts could the manufacturer
produce?
By Tree Diagram
COLOR SIZES SLEEVE CUTS
Short
Small Long
Short
RED Medium Long
Short
Large Long
Short
Small Long
BLUE Short
Medium Long
Large Short
Long
By Listing Method
Red – Small – Short
Red – Small – Long
Red – Medium – Short
Red – Medium – Long
Red – Large – Short
Red – Large – Long
Blue – Small – Short
Blue – Small – Long Therefore, the manufacturer
Blue – Medium – Short has 12 possible choices of shirts
to produce.
Blue – Medium – Long
Blue – Large – Short
Blue – Large – Long
THE FACTORIAL NOTATION
A notation used to express the product of

a series of consecutive integers. If n is a
positive integer, then “n factorial” is
defined as:
Note: Since the number of permutations of an empty set is 1,

meaning, an empty set can only be ordered one way, thus, 0! = 1.
Example: Evaluate 4!
Since,
Then,
Therefore, 4! = 24

DIFFERENT
VARIATIONS OF
PERMUTATIONS
DIFFERENT VARIATIONS OF PERMUTATIONS:
1. The Permutations of n objects
taken r at a time.
2. The Permutations of n objects
taken all at a time.
3. The Permutations of Distinct or
Distinguishable Objects.
4. Circular Permutations
THE PERMUTATIONS OF
n OBJECTS TAKEN r
AT A TIME.
How can we solve the
permutation of n
objects taken r at a
time?
Ex. Find the permutation
of n objects taken r at
a time?
𝑃 (5,2) = ?
The permutations of n
objects taken r at a time
P
n r = ,
THE PERMUTATIONS OF
n OBJECTS TAKEN all
AT A TIME.
Ex. What is the
permutation of n objects
taken all at a time?
𝑃(5,5) = ?
The permutations of n
objects taken all at a time
𝑃 (,) =

Quiz #2
1. A teacher wants to assign 4 different tasks to her
4 students. In how many possible ways can she do
it?
2. In how many ways can 5 bicycles be parked if there
are 7 available parking spaces?
3. 𝑃(5,3)=?
4. In how many ways can 12 people occupy the 12 seats
in a front row of a minitheater?
5. If there are 10 people and only 6 chairs are
available, in how many ways can they be seated?
WHAT IF?
P(n,5)=2520
what is n?
Steps in finding the value of n:
Step 1. Write the formula
Step 2. Identify the given values and substitute it
in the formula.
Step 3. Simplify the equation. Divide like terms in
the numerator and denominator.
Step 4. Think of five (5) consecutive numbers which
its product will be equal to the number of
permutations (P).
Step 5. Arrange the numbers in descending order, then
substitute to the number of permutations (P) in the
original equation
Steps in finding the value of n:
Step 6. Equate each variables/quantities on the left-
hand side to the variables/quantities on the right-
hand side of the equation.
Step 7. Simplify the equation to find the value of n.
P(8,r)=1680
what is r?
Steps in finding the value of r:
Step 1. Write the formula
Step 2. Identify the given values and substitute it
in the formula.
Step 3. Interchange the numerator in the left-hand
side of the equation to the denominator on the right-
hand side of the equation.
Step 4. Simplify the equation.
Step 5. Rewrite to factorial notation.
Step 6. Divide both sides by “!” to cancel it out.
Step 7. Simplify and solve for r.
