Hence the required answer = 2 x 18 x 24!

QUESTION: 2

How many numbers between 200 and 1200 can be formed with the digits 0, 1, 2, 3 (repetition of digits not allowed?

Solution:

14 numbers

So total of 14 numbers (without repetition) between 200 & 1200 with 0, 1, 2 & 3

QUESTION: 3

Solution:

28C2r/24C2r-4 = 225/11
⇒ 28!/2r!(28-2r)! * [(2r-4)!(28-2r)!]/24! = 225/11
⇒ (28*27*26*25)/[2r*(2r-1)*(2r-2)*(2r-3)] = 225/11
⇒ 2r*(2r-1)*(2r-2)*(2r-3) = (28*27*26*25*11)/225
⇒ 2r*(2r-1)*(2r-2)*(2r-3) = 28*3*26*11
⇒ 2r*(2r-1)*(2r-2)*(2r-3) = 4*7*3*13*2*11
⇒ 2r*(2r-1)*(2r-2)*(2r-3) = (2*7)*13*(3*4)*11
⇒ 2r*(2r-1)*(2r-2)*(2r-3) = 14*13*12*11
⇒ 2r = 14
⇒ r = 7

QUESTION: 4

In how many ways can 10 identical presents be distributed among 6 children so that each child gets at least one present?
Solution:

Solution:

The correct option is Option D.

There are six different digits (0,1,2,3,4,5) and these will be arranged in 6p4 ways = 360

Hence, 360 different registration numbers can be formed with the help of these numbers.

QUESTION: 8

There are ten subjects in the school day at St.Vincent’s High School but the sixth standard students have only 5 periods in a day. In how many ways can we form a time table for the day for the sixth standard students if no subject is repeated?
Solution:

There are 10 subjects and 5 periods
I st period can be filled with any 10 subjects
2nd period can be filled with remaining 9 subjects (1 subject is already filled)
3 rd period can be filled with remaining 8 subjects (2 subjects are already filled)
4 th period can be filled with remaining 7 subjects (3 subjects are already filled)
5 rd period can be filled with remaining 6 subjects (4 subjects are already filled)
so total no fo ways we can arrange = 10*9*8*7*6
= 30240 ways

Solution:
QUESTION: 11

How many even numbers of four digits can be formed with the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (repetitions of digits are allowed)?
Solution:

for an even number, the ones place number should be even i.e it could be either one of 2,4,6

so number of ways to select ones place number is 3C1 = 3

since repetetion is allowed, and all numbers are whole numbers.

so number of ways to select any of the three remaining numbers = 6C1 =6

Number of 4 digit number possible = 6 x 6 x 6 x 3

= 648

QUESTION: 12

On a shelf, 2 books of Geology, 2 books of Sociology and 5 of Economics are to be arranged in such a way that the books of any subject are to be together. Find in how many ways can this be done?
Solution:

There are books of 3 subjects (Geology, Sociology and Economics), hence they can be arranged in 3! (3 * 2 * 1) = 6 ways.
Further, in each category (subject), books are to be arranged in different order, we get,

3! * [2! * 2! * 5!] = 2880

QUESTION: 13

In how many ways can the letters of the word ‘EQUATION’ be arranged so that all the vowels come together?
Solution:

The correct option is Option B.

The word equation has 8 letters of which 5 are vowels and 3 are consonants. Bunch up the 5 vowels to assume them as one letter. Thus the total number of letters is 4 which can be arranged in  4!=24 . And for each of these arrangements the 5 vowels can be arranged among themselves in  5!=120  ways. Thus, the total arrangements of the letters with the vowels always appearing together is  24∗120=2880 .

QUESTION: 14

How many quadrilateral can be formed from 25 points out of which 7 are collinear
Solution:

otal number of quadrilateral combination possible if none of the points are collinear = 25C4 = 12650

If we form a geometry by joining any three points out of seven collinear points and one point from 18 non collinear points, it will give us a triangle instead of quadrilateral. So we have to eliminate number of combinations which can be formed in this way, which is 7C3 x 18C1 = 35 x 18 = 630

We also can't form quadrilateral if we choose all four vertices of quadrilateral to be any 4 points from 7 collinear points. It will come out to be a straight line. So we have to eliminate such combinations also. Which is 7C4 = 35

So net number of possible quadrilaterals = 12650 - 630 - 35 = 11985

QUESTION: 15

In how many ways a committee consisting of 5 men and 3 women, can be chosen from 9 men and 12 women.
Solution:

Choose 3 women out of 12 women = 12C3 ways = 220 ways

The committee can be chosen in 27720 ways
