LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET

Permutation is an arrangement, or listing, of objects in which the order is important. Each possible arrangement is a

permutation. The number of permutations is given for the following cases:

2. 6 P6 = ___ 4. P( 6 ,r) = 360. r= ___

PROBLEM-SOLVING ON PERMUTATIONS

ACTIVITY 1.

Evaluate the following permutations using

P(n,r) =

𝐧!

( 𝐧$𝐫

) !

. Write your complete solutions inside the box.

ACTIVITY 3. Solve the following situations. Write your complete solutions.

  1. A teacher wants to assign 4 different tasks to her 4

students. In how many possible ways can she do it?

  1. In how many ways can you arrange 8 different can goods on

a shelf?

  1. In how many different ways can 5 bicycles be parked if there

are 7 available parking spaces?

  1. A baseball coach is going to pick 8 players from a baseball

squad of 16 to take turn batting against the pitcher. How many

batting orders are possible?

  1. There are 8 basketball teams competing for the top 4

standings in order to move up to the semi-finals. Find the

number of possible rankings of the four top teams.

  1. How many three letter words (including nonsense words)

can you make from the letters of the English alphabet, if letters

cannot be repeated?

Permutation is an arrangement, or listing, of objects in which the order is important. Each possible arrangement is a

permutation. The number of permutations is given for the following cases:

PROBLEM-SOLVING ON PERMUTATIONS

A. Distinguishable Permutation B. Circular Permutation

Example: How many ordered arrangements are there of the

letters in the word PHILIPPINES?

Solution: P =

𝐧!

𝒑! 𝒒! 𝒓!…

++!

2! 2!

++ • +3 • 4 • 5 • 6 • 7 • 8 • 9 • 2!

2! 2!

P = 1, 108, 800

Example: In how many ways can 6 friends join hands to form a

circle?

Solution: P = (𝐧 − 𝟏)!

P = (6 - 1)! = 5! = 5 • 4 • 3 •2•1 = 120

P = 120

PERMUTATIONS WITH RESTRICTIONS

ACTIVITY# 4 Solve the following problems. Show your solutions.

  1. How many ways can 5 men and 4 women be arranged in a row alternately?
  2. In how many ways can 5 contestants be lined up in a stage if two of them insisted to stand together

Distinguishable

The number of distinguishable permutations, P, of n objects where

p, q, r …, represent the number of times an object is repeated.

P =

𝒑! 𝒒! 𝒓!…

Circular Circular arrangements are permutations in which objects are arranged in

a circle.
