» Keyring is a circular manner permutation , thus we will use the circular permutation.

  • [tex]\sf{P_{circular}=(n-1)!}[/tex]

[tex]\\[/tex]

Given that n = 5

[tex]\sf{P_{circular}=(n-1)!}[/tex]

[tex]\sf{P_{circular}=(5-1)!}[/tex]

[tex]\sf{P_{circular}=4!}[/tex]

[tex]\sf{P_{circular}=4\times3\times2\times1}[/tex]

[tex]\sf{P_{circular}=24}[/tex]
