Krishna P answered
Since there should be at least one boy in the selection, the ways by which 4 children can be selected become 6C1*4C3, 6C2*4C2, 6C3*4C1, 6C4*4C0.
total selection becomes the sum of the above four combinations. ie, 24+90+80+15=209

"WORD" be arranged?

The word "WORD" has 4 letters. Therefore, there are 4 different positions for the first letter, 3 different positions for the second letter, 2 different positions for the third letter, and 1 different position for the last letter.

The total number of ways to arrange the letters is given by 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 24.

Therefore, there are 24 different ways to arrange the letters of the word "WORD".

    5
  • b)
    10
  • c)
    15
  • d)
    20
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Faizan Khan answered
Since each desired number is divisible by 5, so we must have 5 at the unit place. So, there is 1 way of doing it.
The tens place can now be filled by any of the remaining 5 digits (2, 3, 6, 7, 9). So, there are 5 ways of filling the tens place.
The hundreds place can now be filled by any of the remaining 4 digits. So, there are 4 ways of filling it.
∴ Required number of numbers = (1 x 5 x 4) = 20.

In how many different ways can the letters of the word ‘LEADING’ be arranged in such a way that the vowels always come together?
  • a)
    360
  • b)
    480
  • c)
    720
  • d)
    5040
  • e)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Anaya Patel answered
The word ‘LEADING’ has 7 different letters.
When the vowels EAI are always together, they can be supposed to form one letter.
Then, we have to arrange the letters LNDG (EAI).
Now, 5 (4 + 1 = 5) letters can be arranged in 5! = 120 ways.
The vowels (EAI) can be arranged among themselves in 3! = 6 ways.
∴ Required number of ways = (120 x 6) = 720.
