Final answer:
The number of permutations of 3 objects taken 2 at a time without repetition is 3. The permutations are ml, mn, lm, ln, nm, nl.
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of permutations of three objects taken two at a time without repetition is given by the formula 3P2 = 3!/(3-2)! = 3!/1! = 3.
The permutations of three objects (m, l, and n) taken two at a time without repetition are:
- ml
- mn
- lm
- ln
- nm
- nl
