Test: Permutation & Combination- 5 - Question 2

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

Detailed Solution for Test: Permutation & Combination- 5 - Question 2

The numbers between 200 and 1200 can be formed in the following ways:

1) Numbers with 3 digits: The hundreds place can be filled with 2 or 3, so there are 2 ways. The tens place can be filled with any of the remaining 3 digits, so there are 3 ways. The units place can be filled with any of the remaining 2 digits, so there are 2 ways. Therefore, there are 2*3*2 = 12 such numbers.

2) Numbers with 4 digits: The thousands place can only be filled with 1, so there is 1 way. The hundreds place can be filled with any of the remaining 3 digits (not including 0), so there are 3 ways. The tens place can be filled with any of the remaining 2 digits, so there are 2 ways. The units place can be filled with the remaining 1 digit, so there is 1 way. Therefore, there are 1*3*2*1 = 6 such numbers.

Therefore, a total of 12 + 6 = 18 numbers between 200 and 1200 can be formed with the digits 0, 1, 2, 3 with no repetition of digits. So, option 2 is correct.

Test: Permutation & Combination- 5 - Question 3

Detailed Solution for Test: Permutation & Combination- 5 - Question 3

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

Detailed Solution for Test: Permutation & Combination- 5 - Question 6

In the ALLAHABAD :-
only 1 vowel available for selection (A).
A is available 4 times .
there are 4 consonants available – L, H, B, D
Then the number of ways of selecting a vowel and a consonant would be 1 × 4C1 = 4.

Test: Permutation & Combination- 5 - Question 7

How many motor vehicle registration number of 4 digits can be formed with the digits 0, 1,2, 3, 4, 5? (No digit being repeated.)

Detailed Solution for Test: Permutation & Combination- 5 - Question 7

The correct option is Option D.

Since motor registration can start with zero as first digit from left and there are six different digits (0,1,2,3,4,5) including zero.

Therefore, different registration numbers that can be formed using these six digits = 6P4  = 360


 

Test: Permutation & Combination- 5 - 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?

Detailed Solution for Test: Permutation & Combination- 5 - Question 8

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

Test: Permutation & Combination- 5 - Question 9

How many batting orders are possible for the Indian cricket team if there is a squad of 15 to choose from such that Sachin Tendulkar is always chosen?

Detailed Solution for Test: Permutation & Combination- 5 - Question 9

The selection of the II player team can be done in 14C10 ways. This results in the team of 11 players be-ing completely chosen. The arrangements of these 11 players can be done in 11!.
Total batting orders = 14C10 x 11! = 1001 x 11!
(Note: Arrangement is required here because we are talking about forming batting orders). 

Test: Permutation & Combination- 5 - Question 10

How many distinct words can be formed out of the word PROWLING which start with R & end with W?

Detailed Solution for Test: Permutation & Combination- 5 - Question 10

The word PROWLING consists of 8 letters, 2 of which are to be fixed (R at the beginning and W at the end).
This leaves us with 6 letters (P, O, L, I, N, G) to arrange in the remaining 6 places, and all of these letters are different.

The number of ways to arrange n different items is given by n factorial (n!).

Therefore, the number of distinct words that can be formed is 6! = 720.

Test: Permutation & Combination- 5 - 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)?

Detailed Solution for Test: Permutation & Combination- 5 - Question 11

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

Test: Permutation & Combination- 5 - 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?

Detailed Solution for Test: Permutation & Combination- 5 - Question 12

First, we consider each subject as one group. So, we have 3 groups to arrange. The number of ways to arrange these groups is 3!.
Within each group, the books can also be arranged. The number of ways to arrange 2 Geology books is 2!, the number of ways to arrange 2 Sociology books is 2!, and the number of ways to arrange 5 Economics books is 5!.
So the total number of ways to arrange the books is 3! * 2! * 2! * 5! = 6 * 2 * 2 * 120 = 2880 ways.

Test: Permutation & Combination- 5 - Question 13

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

Detailed Solution for Test: Permutation & Combination- 5 - Question 13

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 .

Test: Permutation & Combination- 5 - Question 14

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

Detailed Solution for Test: Permutation & Combination- 5 - Question 14

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

Test: Permutation & Combination- 5 - Question 15

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

Detailed Solution for Test: Permutation & Combination- 5 - Question 15

Choose 5 men out of 9 men = 9C5 ways = 126 ways

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

The committee can be chosen in 27720 ways
