PERMUTATION COMBINATION DEFINE 11TH CLASS


Permutations involve order arrangements of objects. we have we shall now consider situations where the order of objects in an arrangement is in material, but only selection of a set of objects in an arrangement is considered. Was selection of objects without any consideration of the order is called a combination.

   Consider the earlier example from permutation with 2 chairs were filled from a group of 4 person. we make a little change in the problem we want to select a group of 82 people and not consider the order so the arrangements a b and b a corresponding to the group. Similarly b c and c B are given in the same group the list is given as follows


AB   BC  CA  AD  BD   CD
BA   CB  AC  DA  DB   DC

Thus there are altogether
\[\frac{\text{^4P_2}}{\text{2}}=6\]
 
different groups selected. This is called the combination number of selecting a group selected. This is called the combination number of selecting a group of 2 from 4 persons denoted \[^4C_2.\]

Definition Combination:

A combination of a set of n distinct objects taken r at a time without repetion is an r-element  subset of the  n objects.

Note: The order of arrangement of the elements is immaterial in a combination.

if a want to choose a team of 3 players from a set of 8 different players, we first get the number ^8P_3 i.e, different ordered sets of 3 players and since any set of 3 players and since any set of 3! ordered sets, we divided \[^3P_3\] by 3!. Thus the number of combination of 3 players is

\[=\frac{\text{^8P_3}}{\text{3!}}\]

\[=\frac{\text{8!}}{\text{(8-3)!3!}}\]

COMBINATION 

From n different objects of ways selecting a group or a set of r objects (without considering order) is denoted by ^nC_r or C(n,r) or nCr. It is the number of combinations of r nCr objects from n distinct objects

Theorem:  \[^nC_r=\frac{\text{n!}}{\text{(n-r)!r!}}\]

Properties of Combination.

1.Consider, \[^nC_{n-r}=\frac{\text{n!}}{\text{(n-r)![n-(n-r)]!}}\]
                                 \[=\frac{\text{n!}}{\text{(n-r)!r!}}\]
                                 \[=^nC_r.\]
thus \[^nC_{n-r}=^nC_r , 0<= r <= n.\]

2. Consider, \[^nC_0= \frac{\text{n!}}{\text{(n-0)!)0!}}\]
                              \[=^nC_0\]
                              \[=\frac{\text{n!}}{\text{n!}}=1\]
as has been stated earlier

3. If \[^nC_r = ^nC_3\] , then either \[s=r or s=n-r\]
4. \[^nC_r=\frac{\text{nPr}}{\text{r!}}\]
5. \[^nC_r + ^nC_{r-1}=^{n+1}C_r\]
6. \[^nC_0+^nC_1+...+^nC_n=2^n\]
7. \[^nC_0+^nC_2+^nC_4+....=^nC_1+^nC_3+^nC_5+....=2^{n-1}\]
8. \[^nC_r=\left(\frac{\text{n}}{\text{r}}\right)\]
\[ ^{n-1}C_{r-1}=\left(\frac{\text{n-1}}{\text{r-1}}\right)\]
\[^{n-2}C_{r-2}=...\]
\[^nC_r\] has maximum value if 
(a) \[r=\frac{\text{n}}{\text{2}}\] when n is even
(b)\[r=\frac{\text{(n-1)}}{\text{2}}\] or \[r=\frac{\text{n+1}}{\text{2}}\] when n is odd
