PERMUTATION OF OBJECTS WHEN FEW ARE IDENTICAL
If there n objects of which p objects are of one type, q objects of another type, r objects of yet another type and all others are distinct, the total number of ways of arranging all the objects is
Proof:
Suppose the total number of permutations are x, now if we replace all p identical objects by p different objects then we have x × p! arrangements. The number of arrangements, if we do the same thing with q and r, will be x × p!×q!×r!
Now, we have replaced all identical objects and we are left with n different object which can be arranged in n! Ways.
Hence, x × p!×q!×r! = n!
So,
Example: In how many ways can the letters of the word “MISSISSIPPI” be arranged?
Solution: repeated letters I = 4 times, S = 4 times and P=2 times
So using the above formula we have
