Suppose you have n objects and within those, there arem1 objects of kind 1

m2 objects of kind 2

and so on.

Then the number of permutations of the n objects is n!/[m1!* m2!...]


For example, permutations of the word "banana"

n = 6

there are 3 "a"s so m1 = 3

there are 2 "n"s so m2 = 2

therefore, the number of permutations = 6!/(3!*2!) = 720/(3*2) = 120.

How many distinguishable and indistinguishable permutations are there in the word algrebra?

The word "algrebra" has 8 letters, with the letter 'a' appearing twice and 'r' appearing twice. To find the number of distinguishable permutations, we use the formula for permutations of multiset: ( \frac{n!}{n_1! \times n_2!} ), where ( n ) is the total number of letters and ( n_1, n_2 ) are the frequencies of the repeating letters. Thus, the number of distinguishable permutations is ( \frac{8!}{2! \times 2!} = 10080 ). Since all letters are counted in this formula, there are no indistinguishable permutations in this context.

How do you find permutation?

If there are n objects and you have to choose r objects then the number of permutations is (n!)/((n-r)!). For circular permutations if you have n objects then the number of circular permutations is (n-1)!
