Explanation Factorial: Factorial gives the product of an integer and all the integers below it. Factorial is denoted by a positive integer and an exclamation point. For any counting number n, the factorial of n is defined by n ! = n ( n − 1 ) ( n − 2 ) ⋅ ⋯ ⋅ 3 ⋅ 2 ⋅ 1 0 ! = 1 Example: The factorial of 4 is 4 ! = 4 ⋅ 3 ⋅ 2 ⋅ 1 = 24 Permutation: Permutation is the process of arranging the objects of a set in a definite order. If the set is already arranged, we can rearrange the objects using permutation. In permutation, repetition of object is allowed. It selects the objects regardless of the order. The permutation formula for the number of permutations possible for the choices r object from the set of n distinct object is n P r = n ! ( n − r ) ! Where, n - Number of distinct object in the set r - Number of choices Calculation: We need to find the value of 5 P 4
