Solution
There are 11 distinct objects and 4 objects are arranged at a time.
When one specified object does not occur than 4 things are to be arranged from the remaining 10 things, which can be done in 10P4 ways
= 10 × 9 × 8 × 7 ways
= 5040 ways
∴ There are 5040 permutations of 11 distinct objects, taken 4 at a time, in which one specified object never occurs.
