What is Permutation?

A permutation is an grouping or the combination of items that is drawn from a set of which the placement or an arrangement of the given objects is significant. In the other terms, an arrangement of the items in the specific order is a permutation.

Total number of White balls = 59

Total number of red balls = 35

Way of choosing 5 white balls = ⁵⁹C₅

= [tex]\frac{59!}{54! 5!}[/tex]

=5006386 ways

Way of choosing 1 red ball = ³⁵C₁

=35 ways
