What’s In

Determining the different possibilities of an event requires counting. There are four
techniques in counting events namely making a table, tree diagram, systematic listing and
fundamental principle of counting.

Making a table is a technique where values or different possibilities are tabulated.

Tree diagram is another technique which uses line segments originating from an event to an
outcome. This is a picture of all possible outcomes when an event is unfolded.

Systematic listing is a counting technique that involves complete list of all possible
outcomes.

Fundamental counting principle is a counting technique in which if two events are

independent and one event occurs in a ways, and the other event occurs in b ways, then,
these events occur in ab ways.

Example:

There are 4 cyclists in a race. In how many ways will they be arranged as first,
second, and third placers?

To answer this problem, we can use any of the four counting techniques mentioned
above.

Making a table

Number of Cyclists Possible Arrangements Number of Arrangements

4 (A,B,C,D) 3 cyclists at a time (for first,

second, third): 24
ABC, ABD, ACB, ACD,
ADB, ADC, BAC, BAD,
BCA, BCD, BDA, BDC,
6
 CAB, CAD, CBA, CBD,
CDA, CDB, DAB, DAC,
DBA, DBC, DCA, DCB

Tree diagram

Thus, there are 24 possible arrangements.

Systematic listing

There are only four cyclists: A, B, C and D. There are four cyclists to choose from for
the first place, three cyclists to choose from for the second place and two cyclists to choose
from for the third place.

The actual list of all possible arrangements are ABC, ABD, ACB, ACD, ADB, ADC,
BAC, BAD, BCA, BCD, BDA, BDC, CAB, CAD, CBA, CBD, CDA, CDB, DAB, DAC, DBA,
DBC, DCA, DCB.

Therefore, there are 24 possible arrangements.

Fundamental counting principle

first placer second placer third placer

What’s New

Take a second look at the problem above.

1. Describe the arrangement of cyclists as first, second, and third placers? Is the order
or arrangement important?
2. Is the list of possible arrangements of cyclists that are made is complete and actual?
3. What do you call each possible arrangement of cyclists?

The arrangement of cyclists is in absolute order. The arrangement is important; that

is, a different arrangement means a different result. Each possible arrangement of cyclist is
called permutation.

7
 What is Permutation?

Permutation refers to the different arrangement of objects in a definitive manner.

The order of the objects is important. There are two types of permutations. These are
permutations of objects in a line and permutations of objects in a circle. Permutation of
distinct objects and permutation of non-distinct objects are the two kinds of permutations of
objects in a line. But in this lesson our focus is permutation of distinct objects.

What is permutation of distinct objects?

Permutation of distinct objects refers to the different arrangements of distinct

objects in a line. It is the different arrangements when no objects are identical or the same.

Examples:

1. Arranging 4 different potted plants in a row

- What makes this a permutation of distinct objects is that, 4 different potted plants
are distinct objects and are arranged in a line.

2. Getting the possible arrangements of letters of READ

- The four letters in READ are all distinct letters and are arranged in a line.
3. Choosing president, vice president, secretary and treasurer from 12 members in a
club
- A president can’t be a vice president or a secretary or a treasurer at the same
time so meaning, 4 different officers are to be chosen from 12 members.

What Is It

Let’s find out how to illustrate permutation of distinct objects.

Situation/ Activity Number of Discussion of the Possible Arrangements

Objects
Example 1:
Arranging 3 different 3 3 books at a time:
mathematics books
in a shelf Suppose the three different mathematics books
have titles, Algebra, Geometry, and Statistics. Let
us code them with letters A, G, S respectively.
The possible arrangements are:
AGS, ASG, GSA, GAS, SAG, SGA

With the use of Fundamental Counting Principle:

Thus, there are 6 possible arrangements of

mathematics books in a shelf.
Example 2:
Arranging 4 different 4 4 potted plants at a time: the potted plants can be
8
potted plants in a arranged according to height, or according to kind,
row according to appearance, or any basis we want. For
instance, 4 potted plants are coded with A, B, C, D.
the possible arrangements are:
ABCD, ABDC, ACDB, ACBD, ADBC, ADCB,
BCDA, BCAD, BDAC, BDCA, BACD, BADC,
CDAB, CDBA, CABD, CADB, CBDA, CBAD,
DABC, DACB, DBCA, DBAC, DCAB, DCBA

With the use of Fundamental Counting Principle:

Therefore, there are 24 possible arrangements of 4

potted plants in a row.
Example 3:
Electing a 10 3 members at a time:
Mathematics club Suppose the names of the 10 members:
president, vice- J. Gubaton
president and a A. Perez
secretary from 10 I. Macamay
members
R. Cruz
N. Torres
F. Leon
T. Fernandez
H. Santos
G. Sanchez
B. Garcia
One possible result is:
President- J. Gubaton
Vice-President- I. Macamay
Secretary- F. Leon

This is different from other possible results, like:

President- H. Santos
Vice-President- R. Cruz
Secretary- J. Gubaton

(Note: It’s hard making a list of all possible

arrangements when the list is long)

The number of possible outcomes for the position:

President- 10 possible choices
Vice President- 9 possible choices
Secretary- 8 possible choices

With the use of Fundamental Counting Principle:

There are 720 possible ways of electing

Mathematics club President, Vice President and
Secretary.
9
Example 4:
Getting the possible 5 Anagram is a word or phrase created by
arrangement of rearranging all the letters of a certain word, and
letters that could be these letters must be used only once.
the anagram of the
word BREAK Since we are getting the possible arrangements of
letters of BREAK that has meaning, then the
possible words that could be formed are BRAKE
and BAKER.

Thus, there are only 2 possible arrangements.

 What’s In

Permutation refers to the different arrangement of objects in a definitive manner.

Permutation of distinct objects is one of the two types of permutation of objects in

a line which refers to the number of different arrangements of different objects in a line. It is
the number of different arrangements when no objects are identical.

Examples:

1. Arranging 3 different mathematics books in a shelf

2. 67543 is a 6-digit odd number PIN for a mobile phone
3. Awarding gold, silver and bronze medals to the winning runners in a race

What’s New

Directions: Rearrange the letters of the following words and find the possible arrangement
of these letters that could be the anagrams of the words below:

1. Free
2. Vases
3. Peels
4. Cheaper
5. Petitioner

What do you observe of the letters of the words above? Yes, there are duplications of
letters of the words.

In this lesson, you will learn about permutation of non-distinct objects. It is another
type of permutation in a line in which it is a permutation when objects are not distinct.

Examples:

1. Arranging the letters of MATHEMATICS

- This permutation is non-distinct because there are duplications of letters. There
are 2 M’s, 2 A’s and 2 T’s.
2. 5 vases of the same kind and 3 candle stands of the same kind are arranged in a line.
- This is permutation of non-distinct objects because there are objects to be
arranged in a line are alike or the same.

19
 What Is It

Let’s find out how to illustrate permutation of non-distinct objects.

Situation/ Activity Number of Discussion of the Possible of

Objects Arrangements
Example 1:
Finding the number of 4 Since the two E’s are the same, we
possible arrangements of can’t make a distinction between the
the letters of the word TREE two. Thus, let us use upper case for
one E and lower case for the other e.
The possible arrangements are:
TREe REet EeTR ETer
TReE ReET eETR eTER
TEer RETe EeRT ERet
TeER ReTE eERT eRET
TEre RTEe ETRe ERTe
TeRE RTeE eTRE eRTE

Now, these two E’s are the same.

Thus, TREe and TReE are also the
same. Therefore, there are 12
possible arrangements of letters of
TREE.

We can also use the fundamental

counting principle. Since there are
four letters in the word TREE and
there are two E’s or for each
permutation like T-R-E-E, there are 2
just like what is mentioned above.
The duplications are eliminated by
dividing

Therefore, there are 12 possible

arrangements of letters of TREE.
Example 2:
Displaying 5 flags in which 3 5 Let R for the red flag and Y for the
are red and 2 are yellow yellow flag.
The possible arrangements of the 5
flags on display are:
RRRYY, RRYYR, RRYRY, RYYRR,
RYRYR, RYRRY, YYRRR, YRRRY,
YRYRR, YRRYR.
With the use of fundamental counting

20
 principle: Since there are 5 flags in all
and 3 red flags and 2 yellow flags,
thus, the duplications are eliminated
by dividing

Therefore, there 10 possible ways of

displaying the 5 flags.
Example 3:
Assigning the same feed to 6 Suppose these pigs are used in a
3 pigs and another feed to 3 study to compare 2 different feeds.
pigs Each of these feeds is to be used on
3 randomly selected pigs.
Let’s assume that the 2 different
feeds are A and B.
The possible ways of feeds to be
used on pigs are:
AAABBB, AABBBA, AABBAB,
AABABB, ABBBAA, ABBAAB,
ABAABB, ABBABA, ABABAB,
ABABBA, BBBAAA, BBAAAB,
BBAABA, BBABAA, BAAABB,
BAABBA, BABBAA, BAABAB,
BABABA, BABAAB.

With the use of fundamental counting

principle: Since there are 6pigs in all
and 3 pigs are used for the same
feed and another 3 pigs for another
the same feed, thus, the duplications
are eliminated by dividing

There are 20 possible ways of feeds

to be used on pigs.

What’s In

Permutation refers to the different arrangement of objects in a definitive manner.

Permutation of distinct objects refers to the different arrangements of distinct

objects in a line. It is the different arrangements when no objects are identical or the same.

Permutation of non-distinct objects is a type of permutation in which it is a

permutation when objects are not distinct.

 What’s New

Joelle has 3 guests A, B and C. She needs to arrange them around a circular table. What
are the possible arrangements?

What Is It

The problem above involves circular permutation.

What is circular permutation?

Circular permutation is a type of permutation where the arrangement of different

objects is in circular manner.

Examples:

1. 5 people are seated around a circular table.

2. 5 different keys are arranged in a key ring.
3. 5 different beads on a bracelet

Let’s find out how to illustrate circular permutation of objects.

Situation/ Activity Number of Discussion of the Possible Arrangements

Objects
Example 1:
3 people sitting around a 3 Suppose the 3 people are A, B and C.
circular table Observe the following illustrations.

First Second Third

Fourth Fifth Sixth

Notice that first, second and third

arrangements are the same. Though the
positions of the guests have been moved but
they are still in the same position in relation to
one another. There is no first place in the
arrangement of guests. When each guest
32
 moves his position by one place may it be
clockwise or counterclockwise, it does not
change the relative positions. The same is
true with fourth, fifth and sixth arrangements.
These three arrangements as well are the
same. Thus, the three guests can be arranged
around a circular table in 2 ways only.

Observe how the same letters A, B and C are

arranged in a line.
ABC ACB
CAB BAC
BCA CBA

Notice that the letters can be arranged in 6

ways in a line but the arrangements of them in
circular manner is just 2 ways because the
arrangements falling in each column are just
the same because the 3 guests are supposed
to be seated around a circular table.

With the use of Fundamental Counting

Principle, in getting the number of possible
arrangement of objects in a circular manner is
by just dividing the possible arrangements of
objects in a line by the number of objects
involve in the circular permutation.
Like:

Thus, there are 2 ways that the three guests

can be arranged around a circular table.
Example 2:
4 campers sitting around a 4 Suppose the campers are A, B, C and D.
campfire The possible arrangements of 4 campers are:

With the use of Fundamental Counting

Principle: Since there are 4 objects involved
then,

33
 Therefore, there 6 possible arrangements of 4
campers sitting around a campfire.
Example 3:
8 people sit at a round table 8 Since there 8 people, it’s hard to draw an
illustration of all possible arrangements when
the arrangements are quite long. Then we will
find the number of arrangements by

Therefore, there are 5040 possible

arrangements that the 8 people sit at a round
table.
