Identify the correct concept described as: an arrangement of objects in a specific order, where order matters.
Difficulty: Medium
About this MCQ
This Medium Discrete Mathematics MCQ checks one syllabus fact.
The question is: “Identify the correct concept described as: an arrangement of objects in a specific order, where order matters.”
The accepted answer is B. Permutation. “Identify the correct concept described as: an arrangement of objects in a specific order, where order matters.” is answered by Permutation (option B). Option A (“Proposition”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Permutation. Option C (“Boolean algebra”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Permutation. Remaining alternatives (Combination) fall outside the same rule and should be eliminated once Permutation is identified. Discrete Mathematics questions of this type reward precise definitions rather than approximate associations. Discrete Mathematics recall of this distinction is a regular item in FPSC, PPSC, NTS, and CSS papers.
