1. Permutation is also known as selection.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: Permutation is known as arrangement. Selection is another name for combinations.
It involves arrangement of letters, numbers, persons etc.
2. nPr = ________________
a) n!
b) \(\frac{n!}{r!}\)
c) \(\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}\)
d) \(\frac{n!}{(n-r)! r!}\)
View Answer
Explanation: Permutation is known as arrangement. nPr means arranging r objects out of n.
nPr = \(\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}\).
3. 6! = _____________
a) 24
b) 120
c) 720
d) 8
View Answer
Explanation: We know, n! = n.(n-1).(n-2).(n-3)…..
6! = 6.5.4.3.2.1 = 720.
4. \(\frac{7!}{5!}\) = ____________________
a) 7
b) 42
c) 230
d) 30
View Answer
Explanation: We know, n! = n.(n-1).(n-2).(n-3)…… = n(n-1)!
\(\frac{7!}{5!} = \frac{7.6!}{5!} = \frac{7.6.5!}{5!}\) = 7.6 = 42.
5. \(\frac{100}{10!} = \frac{1}{8!} + \frac{x}{9!}\). Find x.
a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4
View Answer
Explanation: \(\frac{100}{10!} = \frac{1}{8!} + \frac{x}{9!}\).
We know, n! = n.(n-1). (n-2). (n-3) …………… = n(n-1)!
\(\frac{100}{10.9.8!} = \frac{1}{8!} + \frac{x}{9.8!}\)
=> \(\frac{100}{10.9} = \frac{1}{1} + \frac{x}{9}\)
=> \(\frac{10}{9} = 1 + \frac{x}{9}\)
=> \(\frac{x}{9} = \frac{10}{9} – 1 = \frac{1}{9}\)
=> x=1.
6. nP0 = ________________
a) n!
b) 1
c) \(\frac{1}{(n)!}\)
d) (n-1)!
View Answer
Explanation: We know, nPr = \(\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}\).
nP0 = \(\frac{n!}{(n-0)!} = \frac{n!}{(n)!}\) = 1.
7. nPn = ________________
a) n!
b) 1
c) \(\frac{1}{(n)!}\)
d) (n-1)!
View Answer
Explanation: We know, nPr = \(\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}\).
nPn = \(\frac{n!}{(n-n)!} = \frac{n!}{(0)!}\) = n!
8. The number of permutations of n different objects taken r at a time, where repetition is allowed is _______________
a) n!
b) r!
c) nPr
d) nr
View Answer
Explanation:
The number of permutations of n different objects taken r at a time, where repetition is allowed is n*n*n*n*n……………. r times = nr.
9. Find the number of permutations of word DEPENDENT.
a) 13240
b) 15120
c) 16620
d) 17230
View Answer
Explanation: There are total 9 letters out of which 1T, 2N, 2D, 3E, 1P.
Total number of permutations are \(\frac{9!}{3!2!2!} = \frac{9.8.7.6.5.4.3.2.1}{6*2*2} = \frac{362880}{24}\) = 15120.
10. Find the number of 5 letter words which can be formed from word IMAGE without repetition using permutations.
a) 20
b) 60
c) 120
d) 240
View Answer
Explanation: IMAGE is a 5 letters word. We have to arrange all 5 letters of the word IMAGE without repetition. So, total permutations are nPr = 5P5 = 5! = 5.4.3.2.1 = 120.
11. Find the number of 5 letter words that can be formed from word IMAGE using permutations if repetition is allowed.
a) 25
b) 120
c) 125
d) 3125
View Answer
Explanation: IMAGE is a 5 letters word. We have to arrange all 5 letters of the word IMAGE with repetition allowed. So, total permutations are nr = 55 = 3125.
