"Day 53 of My Learning Journey: Setting Sail into Data Excellence! Today's Focus: Maths for Data Analysis ( Perm & Comb - 8)

PERMUTATION AND COMBINATION - 8

nCr * r ! = nPr

nCr - selection of ‘r’ different objects out of n- different object
r! - arrangement of ‘r’ objects
nPr - arrangement of n - different objects taken ‘r’ at a time.

Q1. There are m points on a straight line AB & n points on the line AC none of them being the point A. Triangles are formed with these points as vertices, when

‘A’ is excluded. Ding the total number of ways.

2 points of line AB
& 1 point on line AC.
Vice versa
m c 2 X n c 1
+
n c 2 X m c 1

‘A’ is included. Find the total number of ways.

mc1 X nc1 + above answer.

Q2. 10 different chocolates & 20 different toffees.
In how many ways 3 chocolates and 4 toffees are given to a child ?

Sol :- permutation and combination

10 c 3 * 20 c 4

Explanation :-
20 c 4 means 20! / ( 20-4)! * 4!
Why we use X (multiply) because both the processes is done simultaneously
Permutation.

Quick Concept review.

Permutation :-
It is arrangement of object
Order of object is important.
Permutation of diff object can be calculated by npr
nPr = n! / (n-r)!

Combination :-
selection of object
Order of object is important.
Selection of diff objects can be calculated by nCr.
nCr = n! / (n-r)! * r!

Circular Permutation
Arrangement of objects on a circle is known as circular permutation. ( different objects )

A,B,C in a straight line 3! Arrangement
In a circle there are only 2 arrangement .

Clockwise & Anticlockwise arrangements are different.

( N - 1!)

Clockwise & Anticlockwise arrangement are same

( N - 1!) / 2
