Important Questions from Permutations and Combinations

1true false

True or False: In permutations, the order of arrangement matters.

Show answer

True

True. A permutation is an ordered arrangement. AB and BA are counted as different permutations.

2multiple choice

5C3 equals:

Show answer

10

5C3 = 5!/(3!×2!) = (5×4)/(2×1) = 10.

3true false

True or False: In combinations, AB and BA are considered different selections.

Show answer

False

False. In combinations, order does not matter. AB and BA represent the SAME combination — both select elements A and B.

4multiple choice

The Addition Principle states that if event A can occur in m ways and event B in n ways (disjoint), then A or B can occur in:

Show answer

m + n ways

Addition Principle: for mutually exclusive (disjoint) events, A OR B can occur in m+n ways. Multiplication is for sequential AND events.
