Question

There is a set of 12 cards numbered 1 to 12. A card is chosen at random. Event A is choosing a number less

Answer 1

The number of permutations of picking 4 pens from the box is 30.

There are six different unique colored pens in a box.

We have to select four pens from the different unique colored pens.

We have to find in how many different orders the four pens can be selected.

What is a permutation?

A permutation is the number of different arrangements of a set of items in a particular definite order.

The formula used for permutation of n items for r selection is:

    $^nP_r = \frac{n!}{r!}$

Where n! = n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)..........1 and r! = r(r-1)(r-2)(r-3)........1

We have,

Number of colored pens = 6

n = 6.

Number of pens to be selected = 4

r = 4

Applying the permutation formula.

We get,

= $^6P_4$

= 6! / 4!

=(6x5x4x3x2x1 ) / ( 4x3x2x1)

= 6x5

=30

Thus the number of permutations of picking  4 pens from a total of 6 unique colored pens in the box is 30.
