Tips and Ticks Combinations and Permutations


Tips and Ticks Combinations and Permutations

Permutation and combination related questions are common in PSC and Bank exams.

Before going to Combinations and Permutations, first lean about factorial.

If n is a positive integer then, factorial of n is denoted as n!.


5! = ( 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5 ) = 120

4! = (1 x 2 x 3 x 4 ) = 24


Permutations are for lists of items, whose order matters and combinations are for group of items where order doesn’t matter. in other words,

  • When the order of items doesn\\\'t matter, it is called as Combination.
  • When the order of items does matter it is called as Permutation.


The number of permutations of n objects taken r at a time is determined by using this formula:

P(n,r)=n!/(n−r)!

Permutation: Listing your 3 favourite football team in order, from list of 10 teams. P(10,3) = 720.


The number of combinations of n objects taken r at a time is determined by using this formula:

C(n,r)=n!/((n−r)!r!)

Combination: Picking a team of 3 people from a football coaching group of 10. C(10,3) = 10!(3!(10−3)!) = 120.

Problems on Train with Explanation and Shortcuts

Formula :  .

Train Speed = Distance / Time.


Points to Remember .

To change km/hr into m/sec, we need to multiply it by 5 / 18. .

Example:.

90 km/hr means.

90 x 5 / 18.

= (5 x 5 ).

= 25 m/sec.

And if we need to convert m/sec into km/hr, we multiply it by 18 / 5.

Example:.

90 m/sec means.

90 x 18 / 5.

= ( 18 x 18 ).

= 324 km/hr.

Time taken by a train of length l meters to pass a pole or standing man or a signal post is equal to the time taken by the train to cover l meters.
Time taken by a train of length l meters to pass a stationary object of length b meters is the time taken by the train to cover (l + b) meters.
Suppose two trains or two objects bodies are mo...

BODMAS Rule

BODMAS is an acronym and it stands for Bracket, Of, Division, Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction. .

This explains the order of operations to solve an expression. According to Bodmas rule, if an expression contains brackets ((), {}, []) we have to first solve/simplify the bracket followed by of (powers and roots etc.), then division , multiplication , addition and subtraction from left to right. .

Example :.

7 + (6 × 52 + 3) =   7 + (6 × 25 + 3).

7 + (150 + 3).

7 + (153).

7 + 153 .

Ans: 160. .
