The document discusses the concepts of permutation and combination in probability, explaining their definitions and providing examples of how to calculate arrangements and selections of objects. It includes various problems and solutions related to counting techniques, such as the fundamental principles of multiplication and addition, as well as factorial calculations. Additionally, it covers specific scenarios involving arrangements of letters and numbers, emphasizing the difference between permutations (where order matters) and combinations (where order does not matter).

Save Module 5 Permutation & Combination For Later PERMUTATION
In probability we use many techniques for counting.
ermutation and combination are one among them. In general,
nermutation represents the arrangement of objects in different
order and combination represents the way of selecting the objects
‘rom a group.
‘undamental Principle of Multiplication
Ifa first event A can happen in 'm' ways, and a second event B
can happen in 'n' ways, then the two event A and B in succession
can happen in m x n ways.

18 How many 4 digits numbers greater than 4000 can be formed
by using the digits 1, 3, 5, 6, 0,7, 4.
If (i) Digits are repeated (ii) digits are not repeated
Solution: Given digits are 1, 3, 5, 6,0, 7,4
(i) When digits are repeated, since the number should be greater
than 4000, the 1000" place can be filled in 4 ways (5, 6, 7 and 4)
Number of ways of filling 100" place is 7
Number of ways of filling 10" place is 7
Number of ways of filling units place is 7
Total number of ways = 4x 7x 7x7 = 1,372 -1 = 1371

Permutation
Arrangement of objects of a set in definite order is called
‘permutation’. It defines the various ways of arranging the data
or group of data in an order.
In day to day life we face many dilematic situations 1"
arrangement. In those cases permutation can be used to get the
different ways of arrangement and on that analysis a optimum
solution can be find out.
Example: The three numbers 1, 2, 3 can be arranged in different
ways ie.,
(1.2.3), (13,2), (21,3), (2,3,1}, (31,2) 13,21}PERMUTATION, COMBINATION AND 195
