Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Permutation : It is an arrangement of r elements out of n elements.

Combination : it is a selection of r element out of n elements .

Suppose we have a set

S={1,2,3}

If two elements are taken at a time then

Using permutation formula

Total number of outcomes=3P_2

Total number of outcomes=\frac{3!}{(3-2)!}

Total number of outcomes=3!=3\times 2\times1=6

Using combination formula

\binom{n}{r}=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

Total number of outcomes=\binom{3}{2}=\frac{3!}{2!1!}

Total number of outcomes=\frac{3\times2!}{2!}

Hence, total number of outcomes=3

Total number of outcomes determined by permutation have more outcomes.

Because permutation is an arrangement of elements  therefore, it consider order of arrangement of element   but combination is a selection of elements it does no consider order of elements

Arrangements of two elements out of 3 elements

{1,2},{2,3},{2,1},{3,2},{1,3},{3,1}

By using combination if two elements taken at a time then combination

{1,2},{2,3},{1,3}

It would be 50

130+180= 310
