Permutation and Combination

Permutation are related to arrangement and combination has to do with selection.

If there are 12 teams, each representing a different country and the possible awards are gold, silver, and bronze medals, the number of ways they can be selected is given as:

12P3 = 12!/(12-3)!

12P3 = 12!/9!

12P3 = 12 * 11 * 10

12P3 = 1320 ways

Hence the number of ways it is possible for the gold, silver, and bronze medals to be awarded is 1320 ways
