PERMUTATION OF OBJECTS WHEN FEW ARE IDENTICAL

If there n objects of which p objects are of one type, q objects of another type, r objects of yet another type and all others are distinct, the total number of ways of arranging all the objects is \\\mathrm{\frac{n!}{p!q!r!}}

-

m = 5! / 5! = 1 ( Can also tell that this equals 1 as all objects are alike )

n = 10 !/ 7 ! = 720

So m + n = 721
