Introductory Message

For the Facilitator:

Welcome to the Mathematics Grade 10 Self-Learning Module on Permutation

and Its Conditions!

This Self-Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed, and

reviewed by educators from the Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its
Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A.
Agustin, in partnership with the City Government of Pasig through its mayor,
Honorable Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto. The writers utilized the standards set by the K
to 12 Curriculum using the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) in
developing this instructional resource.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners in guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims to help learners
acquire the needed 21st-century skills especially the 5 Cs, namely: Communication,
Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Character while taking into
consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the
body of the self-learning module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator, you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this self-
learning module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing
them to manage their learning. Moreover, you are expected to encourage and assist
the learners as they do the tasks included in the self-learning module.
 For the Learner:

Welcome to the Mathematics Grade 10 Self-Learning Module on Permutation

LESSON

An anagram is a type of wordplay, wherein the

results of arranging the letters of word or phrase,
produce a new word or phrase by using the original
letters exactly once. For example, the word silent is
an anagram of the word listen.

Find anagrams of these words. (Hint: body parts)

A. are _________ E. lamp __________

B. gel _________ F. fringe __________
C. ram _________ G. earth __________
D. sink _________ H. impart __________

As you have seen, an arrangement can be applied to words and can also be
used in many other situations. In Mathematics, arrangements correspond to the
word Permutation.
What is Permutation?

A Permutation of the set of objects is an ordered arrangement of the items.

Example 1:
List all the possible three-letter arrangement in the word EAR.
Solution:

A R ---- E A R
E
R A ---- E R A

E R ---- A E R
A
R E ---- A R E

E A ---- R E A
R
A E ---- R A E

Example 2:
How many three-letter arrangements in the word EAR can be formed

satisfying the given conditions.

A. the first letter is E

B. the vowels are together

C. the vowels must NOT be together

Solutions:

A. There are 2 arrangements formed whose first letter is E. Those are

EAR and ERA.

B. There are 4 arrangements formed wherein the vowels are together.

Those are EAR, AER, REA, RAE.

C. There are 2 arrangements formed wherein the vowels are NOT

together. Those are ERA and ARE.

Example 3:
Which of the following situations show Permutation.

A. The number of ways a president, a vice president, and a treasurer can be

chosen from a group of 20 persons.

B. Aki is planning to purchase a photo album. It comes in 3 sizes, small,

medium, and large; and the cover comes in soft and hardbound. The pages
can be glossy or silk and the print can be colored or black and white. How
many choices does he have for the photo album?

C. The number of 4-digit code that can be made using the digits from 0 to 9 if
repetition of digits is not allowed.

Solutions:

A. There are 3 positions to be arranged in choosing from the same group of 20

persons, and each position is to be filled once. Therefore it is a
permutation.
B. It is not permutation because the arrangement is choosing from different
groups like sizes, cover, pages, and print. Choosing from different groups
tend to have repetition.

C. It is a permutation, arranging 4-digit code choosing from the same group

of numbers and repetition is not allowed.

Example 4:
Identify and underline the phrase or statement in each of the following
situations that show a condition.

A. Rose, Malou, and Shiena are to be arranged in a line from left to right. But
Shiena wants to be placed on the right side.

B. Rose, Bobby, and Malou are to be seated in a row. Rose and Malou want
to be seated next to each other.

C. How will you arrange Chris, Rose, Bobby, and Shiena in a row if Chris and
Bobby refuse to stand beside each other?

Solutions:

Sometimes, problems in Permutation involve conditions. For example, in a

certain situation, an element must be placed in a certain position. Like in situation
A, the statement “Shiena wants to be placed on the right side.” shows condition.

Other situations that show conditions are if an element may be arranged in a

line where two or more objects must be placed together or must not be placed
together. Like in situations B and C. The condition being asked in B is the statement
that “Rose and Malou want to be seated next to each other.” While in C, it is the
statement that “Chris and Bobby refuse to stand beside each other.”

 WRAP-UP

Permutation of the set of objects is an ordered arrangement of the items.

Conditions:
Case 1: When an element must be placed in a specific position.
Example: Bobby must be the first student in the line-up.
Case 2: When two or more elements must be grouped together.
Example: Katherine and Lorraine must sit together in class.
Case 3: When two or more elements must not be grouped together.
Example: The green book and the red book must not be placed next to each
other on the shelf.
