MASTER ME
This activity sheet will help you learn and be familiarized on the following:

1. linear permutations;
2. distinguishable permutations;
3. circular permutations; and
4. solves problems involving permutations.
Read and study the following definitions and formulas regarding the different types of
permutations.

Linear permutations – refers to the different possible arrangements of a set of objects. The
number of permutations of n objects taken r at a time is:
𝑛!
𝑃 (𝑛, 𝑟) = ;𝑛 ≥ 𝑟
(𝑛 − 𝑟 )!
where: n – is the total number of objects
r – is the number of objects to be taken

Distinguishable permutations – refers to the permutations of a set of objects where some of

them are alike. The number of distinguishable permutations of n objects when p are alike, q
are alike, t are alike and so on is given by:
𝑛!
𝑃=
𝑝! 𝑞! 𝑟! …
Circular permutations – the different possible arrangements of objects in a circle. the number
of permutations, P, of n objects around a circle is given by:

𝑃 = (𝑛 − 1)!
n-Factorial – the product of the positive integer n and all the positive integers less than n.
n! = n(n-1)(n-2)…. (3)(2)(1)
ex. 5! = 5(5-1)(5-2)(5-3)(5-4)
5! = 5 (4) (3) (2) (1)
5! = 120

Note: 0! = 1

B. Supply the missing blank with the correct answer.

1. In how many ways can 7 cars be parked if there are 10 available parking
spaces?
Given: n = 10 r = ______
𝑛!

taking?
Given: n = 6 r = ______
𝑛!
