How many distinct permutations can be formed from all letters of the word “SOCIOLOGICAL”? Moreover, in how many ways you can arrange the word “SOCIOLOGICAL”, if: (a) 3 different vowels and 3 different consonants are used to make 6-letters words. (b) 3 vowels and 3 different consonants are used to make 6-letters words. (c) 3 different vowels and 3 consonants are used to make 6-letters words.
Permutations and Combinations
If there are 5 dishes, they can be relished in any order at a time. In permutation, it should be in a particular order. In combination, the order does not matter. Take 3 letters a, b, and c. The possible ways of pairing any two letters are ab, bc, ac, ba, cb and ca. It is in a particular order. So, this can be called the permutation of a, b, and c. But if the order does not matter then ab is the same as ba. Similarly, bc is the same as cb and ac is the same as ca. Here the list has ab, bc, and ac alone. This can be called the combination of a, b, and c.
Counting Theory
The fundamental counting principle is a rule that is used to count the total number of possible outcomes in a given situation.
Exercise 3 How many distinct permutations can be formed from all letters of the
word “SOCIOLOGICAL”? Moreover, in how many ways you can arrange the word
“SOCIOLOGICAL”, if:
(a) 3 different vowels and 3 different consonants are used to make 6-letters words.
(b) 3 vowels and 3 different consonants are used to make 6-letters words.
(c) 3 different vowels and 3 consonants are used to make 6-letters words.
