Solution:

Since all letters in the word "COMPUTER" are distinct then the arrangements is 8! = 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 40320

QUESTION: 16

10 examination papers are arranged in such a way that the best and worst papers never come together. The number of arrangements is
Solution:

No. of ways in which 10 paper can arrange is 10! Ways.
When the best and the worst papers come together, regarding the two as one paper, we have only 9 papers.
These 9 papers can be arranged in 9! Ways.
And two papers can be arranged themselves in 2! Ways.
No. of arrangement when best and worst paper do not come together,
= 10!- 9!.2! = 9!(10-2) = 8.9!.

QUESTION: 17

n articles are arranged in such a way that 2 particular articles never come together. The number of such arrangements is
Solution:

N. particles arrange in a way = n!

if two particles are arranged together then
there is only (n-1) particles

when two particles are together = (n-1)!


and two particles are arranged in= 2! ways



Thus, number of ways in which no particles
are not come together


=n! -2×(n-1)!

=( n-1)!×(n-2)

QUESTION: 23

If the letters word ‘Daughter ’ are to be arranged so that vowels occupy the odd places, then number of different words are
Solution:

There are only 3 vowels, a, u, and e, and there are 4 odd places.  So
one of the odd spaces must contain a consonant.
We can choose 3 of the 4 odd places to put the vowels in C(4,3) or 4 ways.
For each of those vowel , we can  rearrange them  in P(3,3) or 3! or 6 ways.
And we can rearrange the 5 consonants in P(5,5) or 5! or 120 ways.
Hence the total number of different words formed are 6*4*120 = 2880 

QUESTION: 24

Solution:
QUESTION: 25

The number of ways in which 7 boys sit in a round table so that two particular boys may sit together is
Solution:

No. of ways in which n people can sit in a round table = (n-1)! 
So to make them sit together, consider them as a single unit in the sitting arrangement ie. n= 6.
Number of ways so that two particular boys may sit together in the round table:- 

(6 -1)!*2

(The two particular boys can also be switched among themselves) 

=> 120*2
=> 240 

QUESTION: 26

In how many ways can 10 examination papers be arranged so that the best and the worst papers never come together?
Solution:

No. of ways in which 10 paper can arranged is 10! Ways.
When the best and the worst papers come together, regarding the two as one paper, we have only 9 papers.
These 9 papers can be arranged in 9! Ways.
And two papers can be arranged themselves in 2! Ways.
No. of arrangement when best and worst paper do not come together,
= 10! - 9! × 2!
= 9!(10 - 2)
= 8 × 9!

QUESTION: 27

QUESTION: 29

The number of arrangements of 10 different things taken 4 at a time in which one particular thing always occurs is
Solution:

Number of different things = 10

Numbers of things which are taken at a time = 4

Now, it is said that one particular thing always occur.

So The question reduces to selecting 9 things from the 3 things

This can be done easily by using the concept of combinations

Number of ways selecting 3 things out of 9 different things such that one particular thing always occur =

Now, the 4th thing is fixed so number of ways for selecting the 4th thing = 4! = 24

So, Required number of ways = 84 × 24 = 2016

QUESTION: 30

Two digits number (0 can't come on unit place) 5 × 5 = 25
Three digits number 5 × 5 × 4 = 100   
Hence the total number of numbers between 10 and 1000 that can be formed using given digits is = 125
