Circular Permutation = Pn = (n-1)!

P5 = (5-1)! = 4! = 24

But, the problem states 5 things taken 5 at a time. So, I have to consider:

P5 = (5-5!) = 0! = 1

However, the second solution does not make any sense and it does not follow the formula. The correct solution and answer is the first one. 24.

Based on the calculations, the circular permutation for five (5) things taken five (5) at a time is equal to: B. 24.

How to calculate the circular permutation?

Since the anticlockwise and clockwise order are note the same, the total number of circular permutation for this event would be calculated by using this mathematical expression:

Pn = (n - 1)!

Where:

n is the total number of objects.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have:

P₅ = (5 - 1)!

P₅ = 4!

P₅ = 4 × 3 × 2 × 1

P₅ = 24.
