Statistics - Circular Permutation
Circular permutation is the total number of ways in which n distinct objects can be arranged around a fix circle. It is of two types.
Case 1 − Clockwise and Anticlockwise orders are different.
Case 2 − Clockwise and Anticlockwise orders are same.
Case 1 − Formula
${P_n = (n-1)!}$
Where −
${P_n}$ = represents circular permutation
${n}$ = Number of objects
Case 2 − Formula
${P_n = \frac{n-1!}{2!}}$
Where −
${P_n}$ = represents circular permutation
${n}$ = Number of objects
Example
Problem Statement
Calculate circular permulation of 4 persons sitting around a round table considering i) Clockwise and Anticlockwise orders as different and ii) Clockwise and Anticlockwise orders as same.
Solution
In Case 1, n = 4, Using formula
${P_n = (n-1)!}$
Apply the formula
${P_4 = (4-1)! \\[7pt] \ = 3! \\[7pt] \ = 6 }$
In Case 2, n = 4, Using formula
${P_n = \frac{n-1!}{2!}}$
Apply the formula
${P_4 = \frac{n-1!}{2!} \\[7pt] \ = \frac{4-1!}{2!} \\[7pt] \ = \frac{3!}{2!} \\[7pt] \ = \frac{6}{2} \\[7pt] \ = 3 }$
