hi - Can some one help me understand the below formulas pls with an example or 2!
The total number of permutations of n dissimilar things taken r at a time with repetitions = n^r
- How can we post 3 dissimilar letter in 4 different box!?
1 letter has 4 positions so has the 2nd and 3rd letter?
so 4 * 4 * 4 that is essentially 4^3
In case we have 3 similar letters in 4 different box? Is the below equation correct
4! / 3! * 1!
Do you have any GMAT like problems / GMAT problems I can use to see how it works?
No. of circular permutations of n things taken all at a time = (n - 1)!
4 people can be arranged in a round chair !
(4-1)! = 3!
But Do you have any GMAT like problems / GMAT problems I can use to see how it works?
No. of circular permutations of n different things taken r at a time = nPr/r
I have no idea why we divide here by r?
Cheers
