What are permutation and combination?
A permutation is an act of arranging items or elements in the correct order. Combinations are a way of selecting items or pieces from a group of objects or sets when the order of the components is immaterial.
A committee is to consist of two members.
If there are seven people available to serve on the committee.
If two people are selected from the group of seven people.
Then the number of different ways committees can be formed will be
⇒ ⁷C₂
⇒ 7! / [(7 – 2)! x 2!]
⇒ 7! / [5! x 2!]
⇒ 7 x 6 x 5! / [5! x 2 x 1]
⇒ 7 x 6 / 2
⇒ 7 x 3
⇒ 21
Thus, the number of different ways committees can be formed will be 21.
