The number of ways in which the- letters of the word ARTICLE can be rearranged so that the even places are always occupied by consonants is
  • a)
    576
  • b)
    4C3 x (4!)
  • c)
    2(4!)
  • d)
    none of these
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Veda Institute answered
The number of ways to fill the three even places by 4 constonants = 4P3.
After filling the even places, remaining places can be filled in 4P4 ways.
So, the required number of words = 4P3 x 4P4.

  • For a set of vectors to be a basis of R3, they must be linearly independent.
  • Statement P: Vectors {X+Y, Y+Z, X-Z} are not guaranteed to be linearly independent. Linear combinations might lead to dependence.
  • Statement Q: Vectors {X+Y+Z, X+2Y-Z, X-3Z} can be shown to be linearly independent using row reduction or determinant methods.
  • Thus, only Q forms a basis of R3.
  • Correct answer: B.

Gaurav Bhatia answered  •  Nov 21, 2024
Understanding the Group S4
S4, or the symmetric group on 4 elements, consists of all the permutations of a set with four elements. The order of S4 is 4! (which equals 24). To find the elements of order two, we need to identify the permutations that, when applied twice, return the original arrangement.

Correct answer is '-3.5'. Can you explain this answer?

Veda Institute answered
The matrix form of the given system of equations is,
The given system of equations will have a unique solution if and only if the coefficient matrix is non-singular.
Performing , we get,
Performing , we get
Therefore the coefficient matrix will be non-singular if and only if,
Thus the given system will have a unique solution if 
Showing that given equations are inconsistent in this case. Thus if  
= -3.5 no solution exists.
Hence, the correct answer is −3.5

    G is a non - abelian group.
Correct answer is option 'A,B,C'. Can you explain this answer?

Gaurav Bhatia answered  •  Feb 10, 2024
Maps a group G to a group G'. Then, for all elements a, b in G, the mapping f satisfies the following properties:

1. f(a * b) = f(a) * f(b) (Closure under group operation)
2. f(e) = e' (Preservation of identity element)
3. f(a^-1) = (f(a))^-1 (Preservation of inverses)

These properties ensure that the mapping f preserves the group structure of G.

A person on a trip has a choice between private car and public transport. The probability of using a private car is 0.45. While using the public transport, further choices available are bus and metro, out of which the probability of commuting by a bus is 0.55. In such a situation, the probability (rounded up to two decimals) of using a car, bus and metro, respectively would be
  • a)
    0.45, 0.30 and 0.25 
  • b)
    0.45, 0.25 and 0.30

Gaurav Bhatia answered  •  Nov 19, 2023
To solve this problem, we need to use the concept of probability.

Step 1: Calculate the total number of ways to select 5 calculators out of 25
The total number of ways to select 5 calculators out of 25 is given by the combination formula:

C(25, 5) = 25! / (5! * (25-5)!) = 53130

So, there are 53130 different ways to select 5 calculators from the box.... more
