Understanding the Rule of Agency in Legal Proceedings
In agency law, certain conditions must be met for an agent to effectively receive notice on behalf of their principal. Each of the provided statements contributes to the validity of the agent's authority to receive material information during proceedings.
Key Conditions for Agency Notice
  • I. The agent must... more The agent has a responsibility to relay pertinent information to the principal. If this duty exists, the principal can trust that the agent will fulfill this role effectively.
  • II. The information must be material: The information received must be relevant and significant to the matter at hand. Material information can influence the proceedings and should be communicated to the principal.
  • III. It must have been obtained in the course of business for which the agent has been engaged: The information must arise from the agent's activities related to the principal's business. This ensures that the agent's authority encompasses the context in which the information was acquired.
  • IV. The agent is not privy to a fraud on the principal: If the agent is aware of fraudulent activity, they cannot rightfully represent the principal's interests. This condition protects the integrity of the agency relationship.

Conclusion
All four conditions are essential for the rule to operate effectively. They ensure that the agent's role is valid, trustworthy, and aligned with the interests of the principal. Thus, the correct answer is option 'D', as all the statements (I, II, III, IV) must be satisfied for the agent to receive notice on behalf of the principal.

    When the principal represents to a third party that an agent has authority to act when in fact he does not.
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Anuj Roy answered  •  50 minutes ago
Understanding Apparent Authority
Apparent authority, also known as ostensible authority, arises when a principal creates the impression that an agent has the authority to act on their behalf, even if the agent lacks actual authority. This concept is crucial in agency law, particularly in protecting third parties who rely on the representations made by the principal.
Key Points
... more
- Principal's Representation: Apparent authority occurs when the principal communicates to a third party that an agent has the power to act, regardless of the agent's actual authority.
- Reliance by Third Parties: Third parties must rely on the principal's representations. If they reasonably believe that the agent has the authority, the principal may be bound by the agent's actions.
- Example Scenario: If a company (the principal) publicly states that a particular employee (the agent) is authorized to negotiate contracts, the company cannot later deny the agent's authority if the employee enters a contract with a third party based on that representation.
Importance of Apparent Authority
- Legal Protection: Apparent authority protects third parties who may not have knowledge of the limitations placed on the agent's authority by the principal.
- Encourages Trust: This doctrine fosters trust in business dealings, as it ensures that representations made by a principal are honored, even if internal disagreements exist regarding the agent's authority.
In summary, apparent authority arises when a principal represents to a third party that an agent has authority to act, thereby binding the principal to the agent's actions, regardless of the agent's actual authority.

  • Selecting and Arranging the Consonants:
    • Selection: Choose 4 consonants out of 12.
    • Arrangement: Arrange the selected 4 consonants in order.
    • Number of Ways: This is represented by the permutation notation 12P4.
  • Selecting and Arranging the Vowels:
    • Selection: Choose 3 vowels out of 5.
    • Arrangement: Arrange the selected 3 vowels in order.
    • Number of Ways: This is represented by the permutation notation 5P3.
  • Combining Consonants and Vowels:
    • After selecting and arranging the consonants and vowels separately, we need to arrange all 7 letters together to form a word.
    • Number of Ways: The 7 letters can be arranged in 7! (7 factorial) ways.
  • Total Number of Different Words:
    • Multiply the number of ways to arrange consonants, vowels, and the combined letters.

Srsps answered  •  5 hours ago
. Treat A and B as a Single Unit
Since Speaker A must always speak immediately before Speaker B, we can consider them as a single combined entity, denoted as AB.
  • Combined Units to Arrange:
    • AB (A and B together)
    • C
    • D
    • E
This effectively reduces the problem to arranging 4 units instead of 5.
2. Calculate the Number of Arrangements
  • Number of Units to Arrange: 4 (AB, C, D, E)
  • Number of Ways to Arrange 4 Units:
    • This is given by 4 factorial, written as 4!
    • 4! = 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 24
3. Arranging Within the Combined Unit (AB)
  • Since A must always come before B within the combined unit AB, there's only 1 way to arrange them (A followed by B).
    • Number of Arrangements for AB: 1
4. Total Number of Arrangements
  • Total Ways = Arrangements of Units × Arrangements within AB
  • Total Ways = 4! × 1 = 24

      • The remaining 3 individual men.
  • Arranging the 4 Units:
    • The 4 units can be arranged in a row in 4 factorial ways.
    • 4 factorial is written as 4!, which equals 24.
  • Arranging the 3 Men Within Their Group:
    • The 3 specific men within their grouped unit can be arranged among themselves in 3 factorial ways.
    • 3 factorial is written as 3!, which equals 6.
  • Combining Both Arrangements:
    • To find the total number of arrangements, multiply the number of ways to arrange the 4 units by the number of ways to arrange the 3 men within their group.
    • Total Ways = 4! × 3!

- To find the arrangements that begin with M and do not end with N, we subtract the arrangements ending with N from the total arrangements:
- Valid arrangements = Total arrangements - Arrangements ending with N
- Valid arrangements = 120 - 24 = 96
Conclusion
The number of arrangements of the letters in the word "MONDAY" that start with M and do not end with N is 96.

Subhankar Sen answered  •  15 hours ago
Understanding the Problem
To find the number of permutations of 10 different things taken 4 at a time, where one specific item is excluded, we can approach the problem systematically.
Step 1: Determine the Remaining Items
- From the original 10 items, we exclude the specific item.
- This leaves us with 9 items to choose from.
Step 2: Calculate the P
... more
- We are now looking for the number of ways to arrange 4 items from these 9 remaining items.
- The formula for permutations of n items taken r at a time is given by n! / (n - r)!.
Step 3: Apply the Formula
- Here, n = 9 (remaining items) and r = 4 (items to arrange).
- Thus, we calculate:
- Permutations = 9! / (9 - 4)!
- This simplifies to 9! / 5!.
Step 4: Perform the Calculation
- Expanding the factorials, we get:
- 9! = 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5!
- The 5! cancels out, leading to:
- Permutations = 9 × 8 × 7 × 6.
Final Calculation
- Now we multiply:
- 9 × 8 = 72
- 72 × 7 = 504
- 504 × 6 = 3024.
Conclusion
- Therefore, the total number of permutations of 10 different items taken 4 at a time, with one specific item excluded, is 3024.

- The third lady will sit separately.
<
... more

- Thus, we have the following groups to arrange: the "block" of 2 ladies, the 3rd lady, and the 3 gents.
- This gives us a total of 5 units to arrange: (Block), Lady 3, Gent 1, Gent 2, Gent 3.
Step 3: Circular Permutation
- In circular permutations, the number of ways to arrange n units is (n-1)!.
- Here, we have 5 units, so the arrangements are (5-1)! = 4! = 24 ways.
Step 4: Arranging the Ladies Within the Block
- The block can consist of 2 ladies, and they can sit in 2! = 2 ways.
- So, the total arrangements for the ladies within the block adds to 2.
Step 5: Total Arrangements Calculation
- Now, we calculate the total arrangements:
- Total arrangements = Arrangements of 5 units × Arrangements of ladies in the block
- Total arrangements = 24 × 2 = 48 ways.
Conclusion
The total number of ways to seat 3 ladies and 3 gents at a round table so that any two and only two of the ladies sit together is 48.

The sum of all 4 digits number containing the digits 2,4,6,8 without repetition is?

Palak Choudhary answered  •  17 hours ago
Understanding the Problem
To find the sum of all 4-digit numbers formed by the digits 2, 4, 6, and 8 without repetition, we will follow a systematic approach.
Counting the Possible Numbers
- Each digit can be used once, leading to permutations of the 4 digits.
- The total number of permutations is 4! (factorial of 4), which equals 24.
Calculating Contribut
... more
- Each digit (2, 4, 6, 8) will appear in each place (thousands, hundreds, tens, units) equally across all permutations.
- Since there are 24 total numbers, each digit will appear in each position (thousands, hundreds, tens, units) 6 times (24 total / 4 digits).
Calculating the Total Contribution
- The contribution of each digit in each place is calculated as follows:
- Thousands Place: Each digit contributes to 1000 times its value.
- Hundreds Place: Each digit contributes to 100 times its value.
- Tens Place: Each digit contributes to 10 times its value.
- Units Place: Each digit contributes to its own value.
Final Calculation
- Total contribution of each digit:
- 2 * (1000 + 100 + 10 + 1) * 6
- 4 * (1000 + 100 + 10 + 1) * 6
- 6 * (1000 + 100 + 10 + 1) * 6
- 8 * (1000 + 100 + 10 + 1) * 6
- Simplifying:
- Total Value per Digit = (1111) * 6 = 6666
- Multiply by the sum of the digits (2 + 4 + 6 + 8 = 20).
Total Sum of All 4-Digit Numbers
- Total Sum = 6666 * 20 = 133320.
Thus, the sum of all 4-digit numbers formed by the digits 2, 4, 6, and 8 without repetition is 133320.

Freedom Institute answered  •  20 hours ago
We are given the equation:
28C2r : 24C2r – 4 = 225 : 11
Step 1: Express the binomial coefficients
We can express the binomial coefficients 28C2r and 24C2r as:
28C2r = 28C2r and 24C2r = 24C2r
Using the properties of combinations, we can substitute values for the left-hand side of the equation.
Step 2: Set up the equation
The equation simplifies to:
28C2r / 24C2r = 225 / 11 + 4
Step 3: Simplify the right-hand side
225 / 11 + 4 = 225 / 11 + 44 / 11 = 269 / 11
Step 4: Solve for r
Now, we can solve the equation and find the value of r:
28C2r / 24C2r = 269 / 11
Using the property of combinations and solving for r:
r = 7
The value of r is 7.

Srsps answered  •  20 hours ago
We are given 7 gents and 4 ladies, and a committee of 5 members is to be formed. The condition is that each committee must include at least one lady. We need to find the number of such committees.
Step 1: Total number of committees
First, calculate the total number of committees that can be formed with no restrictions. The total number of ways to select 5 people from 11 (7 gents and 4 ladies) is given by the combination formula:
Total committees = 11C5 = (11 * 10 * 9 * 8 * 7) / (5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1) = 462
Step 2: Committees with no ladies
Next, calculate the number of committees that can be formed with no ladies (i.e., all gents). This is simply selecting 5 gents from 7:
Committees with no ladies = 7C5 = (7 * 6) / (2 * 1) = 21
Step 3: Committees with at least one lady
The number of committees with at least one lady is found by subtracting the number of committees with no ladies from the total number of committees:
Committees with at least one lady = Total committees - Committees with no ladies = 462 - 21 = 441
The number of committees that include at least one lady is 441.

We are given the equation: nC10 = nC14
We need to find the value of 25Cn.
Step 1: Use the property of binomial coefficients
We know the property of binomial coefficients:
nCr = nC(n-r)
From the given equation nC10 = nC14, we can apply the property:
nC10 = nC(n-10)
So, we have:
10 = n - 14
Solving for n:
n = 24
Step 2: Find the value of 25Cn
Now, we need to find 25Cn where n = 24:
25C24 = 25
The value of 25Cn is 25.

Srsps answered  •  21 hours ago
We are given four electrical appliances: T.V, Refrigerator, Washing Machine, and Cooler.
The problem asks us to find the number of ways a person can choose one or more appliances from these four.
Step 1: Understanding the choices
For each appliance, a person can either:
  • Choose it, or
  • Not choose it.
So, for each of the 4 appliances, there are 2 choices: choose or not choose.
Step 2: Total number of choices
For all 4 appliances, the total number of choices is:
2 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 16
But, this count includes the case where no appliance is chosen (i.e., choosing none of the appliances). Since we need at least one appliance to be chosen, we subtract the case where no appliances are chosen.
Step 3: Subtract the case of choosing none
The number of choices where no appliance is chosen is 1 (i.e., the empty set). So, we subtract this from the total number of choices:
16 - 1 = 15
The number of ways in which a person can choose one or more appliances is 15.

We are asked to find the value of 7! (7 factorial).
Step 1: Definition of Factorial
The factorial of a number n, denoted as n!, is the product of all positive integers from 1 to n.
Step 2: Calculating 7!
For 7!, we multiply all integers from 1 to 7:
7! = 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1
Now, let's perform the multiplication:
7 × 6 = 42
42 × 5 = 210
210 × 4 = 840
840 × 3 = 2520
2520 × 2 = 5040
5040 × 1 = 5040
Step 3: Final Answer
Therefore, the value of 7! is 5040.

Freedom Institute answered  •  21 hours ago
We are asked to find the number of ways a person can contribute to a fund out of the following notes:
  • 1 ten-rupee note
  • 1 five-rupee note
  • 1 two-rupee note
  • 1 one-rupee note
Step 1: Understanding the Problem
  • The person can choose to contribute or not contribute each note to the fund. - For each note, there are two options: - Contribute the note. - Do not contribute the note.
Step 2: Number of Choices for Each Note
  • For the ten-rupee note, the person can either contribute or not contribute, so there are 2 choices. - For the five-rupee note, there are also 2 choices. - For the two-rupee note, there are 2 choices. - For the one-rupee note, there are 2 choices.
Step 3: Total Number of Ways to Contribute
Since the choices for each note are independent, the total number of ways to contribute to the fund is the product of the choices for each note:
2 choices (for ten-rupee) × 2 choices (for five-rupee) × 2 choices (for two-rupee) × 2 choices (for one-rupee) = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 16
Step 4: Subtracting the Case of Contributing Nothing
  • One of these 16 ways corresponds to the case where the person does not contribute any money (i.e., they choose "not contribute" for all notes). - Since the problem asks for the number of ways to contribute (not to not contribute), we subtract this case of contributing nothing. Therefore, the total number of ways to contribute to the fund is: 16 - 1 = 15
The number of ways the person can contribute to the fund is 15.

Freedom Institute answered  •  21 hours ago
We are asked to find the number of ways to string 8 different beads on a necklace.
Step 1: Understanding the Problem
When arranging beads in a circular pattern, we must account for rotational symmetry (i.e., rotating the arrangement does not create a new arrangement). Additionally, for a necklace, we must also account for reflection symmetry (i.e., flipping the arrangement over does not create a new arrangement).
Step 2: Calculating the Number of Ways
The formula to calculate the number of ways to arrange n different beads on a necklace is:

This formula accounts for both rotational and reflection symmetries.
For n = 8 (since we have 8 different beads), we can substitute the value of n into the formula:

Step 3: Calculating the Factorial
The factorial of 7 (7!) is:
7! = 7 x 6 x5 x4 x 3 x2x1 = 5040
Now, divide by 2 to account for reflection symmetry:
5040 / 2 = 2520

Srsps answered  •  21 hours ago
We are asked to find the number of different forecasts containing exactly 6 correct results out of 8 matches, where each match has three possible outcomes: Win, Loss, or Draw.
Step 1: Understanding the Problem
  • There are 8 matches, each with 3 possible outcomes (Win, Loss, or Draw). - We are interested in exactly 6 correct predictions for the 8 matches. To make exactly 6 correct forecasts, we need to:
    - Select 6 matches where the forecast is correct.
    - The remaining 2 matches must be incorrect (i.e., wrong predictions).
Step 2: Counting the Number of Ways
  • The number of ways to select 6 correct forecasts from the 8 matches is given by the combination formula C(8, 6), which represents selecting 6 positions out of 8. C(8, 6) = 8! / (6!(8 - 6)!) = (8 x 7) / (2 x 1) = 28 \] So, there are 28 ways to select 6 matches with correct forecasts.
  • For the remaining 2 matches, we need to make incorrect forecasts. Since there are 3 possible outcomes (Win, Loss, or Draw), the number of incorrect forecasts for each match is 2 (because the forecast must be wrong). Therefore, for 2 matches, the number of incorrect forecasts is:  2 x 2 = 4 
Step 3: Total Number of Forecasts
To calculate the total number of different forecasts with exactly 6 correct results, we multiply the number of ways to choose 6 correct predictions (28) by the number of incorrect forecasts for the remaining 2 matches (4): Total number of forecasts= 28 x 4 = 112
The total number of different forecasts containing exactly 6 correct results is 112.

We are asked to find the number of words that can be made by rearranging the letters of the word "APURNA" such that vowels and consonants alternate.
Step 1: Identify Vowels and Consonants
The word "APURNA" consists of the following letters: - Vowels: A, U, A (3 vowels) - Consonants: P, R, N (3 consonants)
Step 2: Arrangement of Vowels and Consonants
Since the vowels and consonants must alternate, we have two possible patterns: 1. Vowel, Consonant, Vowel, Consonant, Vowel, Consonant 2. Consonant, Vowel, Consonant, Vowel, Consonant, Vowel Since there are 3 vowels and 3 consonants, both patterns are possible.
Step 3: Calculating the Number of Arrangements
The vowels A, U, A are not all distinct. So, we need to account for the repetition of A. - The number of ways to arrange the vowels is: 3!/2! = 3  (since there are two A's). - The consonants P, R, N are all distinct, so the number of ways to arrange the consonants is: 3! = 6 
Therefore, the total number of ways to arrange the vowels and consonants alternately is: Total = 2 x 3 x 6 = 36  (multiplied by 2 for the two possible patterns).
The total number of ways to rearrange the letters of the word "APURNA" such that vowels and consonants alternate is 36.

C(51, 31) = C(51, 20)
This is because 51 - 31 = 20.
Step 3: Conclusion
Therefore, 51C31 is equal to 51C20.

We are asked to find the number of ways an examinee can answer one or more questions in a question paper that contains 6 questions, each with an alternative.
Step 1: Understanding the Problem
Each question has 3 possibilities: 1. The examinee can leave the question unanswered. 2. The examinee can answer the main question. 3. The examinee can answer the alternative question. - So, for each question, there are 3 choices.
Step 2: Calculating Total Number of Ways
Since there are 6 questions and each question has 3 choices, the total number of ways to answer all questions is:
Total ways = 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 36 = 729
Step 3: Subtracting the Case Where No Question is Answered
We need to subtract the case where no question is answered, as the examinee must answer at least one question. - The case where no question is answered corresponds to the scenario where the examinee leaves all questions unanswered, which is 1 way.
Total valid ways = 729 - 1 = 728
The number of ways an examinee can answer one or more questions is 728.

We are asked to find the ratio of the number of arrangements of the letters of the words "CALCUTTA" and "AMERICA."
Step 1: Number of Arrangements of CALCUTTA
The word "CALCUTTA" consists of 8 letters in total: C, A, L, C, U, T, T, A.
The repeated letters are:
  • "C" appears 2 times,
  • "A" appears 2 times,
  • "T" appears 2 times.
The number of distinct arrangements of the letters of "CALCUTTA" is given by the formula for permutations of a multiset:
Arrangements of CALCUTTA = π / (2! × 2! × 2!)
Calculating:
Arrangements of CALCUTTA = (8!) / (2! × 2! × 2!) = 40320 / 8 = 5040
Step 2: Number of Arrangements of AMERICA
The word "AMERICA" consists of 7 letters: A, M, E, R, I, C, A.
The letter "A" repeats 2 times.
The number of distinct arrangements of the letters of "AMERICA" is:
Arrangements of AMERICA = π / (2!)
Calculating:
Arrangements of AMERICA = (7!) / (2!) = 5040 / 2 = 2520
Step 3: Finding the Ratio
The ratio of the number of arrangements of "CALCUTTA" to "AMERICA" is:
Ratio = (5040) / (2520) = 2:1
Thus, the ratio of the number of arrangements is 2 : 1.

We are given a scenario where there are five bulbs, out of which three are defective. These bulbs are to be tested in two bulb points in a dark room, and we need to find the number of trials required to light the room.
Step 1: Understanding the Setup
  • There are 5 bulbs in total.
  • 3 of them are defective (meaning they do not light up).
  • 2 bulbs will be tested at a time in the bulb points.
  • We need to determine how many trials (pairs of bulbs) are required to light the room.
Step 2: Conditions for Lighting the Room
For the room to be lit, at least one of the bulbs in each pair must be non-defective. Therefore, to ensure the room lights up, the two bulbs selected must either have:
  • Two non-defective bulbs (both will light up).
  • One non-defective bulb and one defective bulb (the non-defective one will light up).
Step 3: Counting Possible Combinations of Trials
Total number of bulbs = 5 (3 defective and 2 non-defective).
The number of ways to select 2 bulbs from the 5 bulbs is given by the combination formula:
ι52 = π / (2 × 1)
Step 4: Subtracting the Invalid Trials
The total number of valid trials is:
Valid trials = ι52 - ι32 = 10 - 3 = 7
The number of trials where the room will be lit is 7.

Unlawful agreements comprise?

Unlawful Agreements
Unlawful agreements are contracts that are not enforceable by law due to their illegal nature or the intention behind them. Understanding these agreements is crucial for anyone involved in legal or business matters.
Categories of Unlawful Agreements
  • Agreements Against Public Policy: These agreements harm the interests of society or co... more
  • Agreements in Restraint of Trade: Contracts that restrict a person's freedom to carry out their trade or profession. For instance, an agreement preventing an individual from starting a similar business after leaving a company can be deemed unlawful.
  • Agreements to Commit a Crime: Any contract that involves the commission of an illegal act, such as drug trafficking or hiring someone for illegal activities, is void.
  • Agreements with Unlawful Consideration: If the consideration (something of value exchanged) for a contract is illegal, the agreement is void. For example, paying someone for committing a crime.
  • Agreements that are Uncertain: Contracts that lack clarity or are ambiguous can be deemed unlawful. If parties cannot ascertain their obligations, the agreement may be unenforceable.

Consequences of Unlawful Agreements
  • Non-Enforceability: The primary consequence is that such agreements cannot be enforced in a court of law.
  • Lack of Legal Recourse: Parties involved in unlawful agreements cannot seek legal remedies for breach or non-performance.
  • Potential Criminal Liability: Engaging in unlawful agreements may expose individuals to criminal charges, depending on the nature of the agreement.

Understanding these aspects helps individuals navigate legal frameworks and avoid pitfalls associated with unlawful agreements.

The Supreme Court has given a 6 to 3 decision upholding a lower court; the number of ways it can give a majority decision reversing the lower court is

    256
  • b)
    276

Srsps answered  •  22 hours ago
The problem states that the Supreme Court has given a 6 to 3 decision upholding a lower court. We need to find the number of ways the court can give a majority decision reversing the lower court.
Step 1: Understanding the Majority Decision
The total number of justices is 9 (6 upheld and 3 reversed). For a majority decision reversing the lower court, at least 5 justices must favor the reversal. We need to calculate how many ways we can choose 5 justices who will reverse the lower court.
Step 2: Applying the Combination Formula
We have 9 justices in total, and we need to select 5 justices who will reverse the decision. The number of ways to choose 5 justices from 9 is given by the combination formula:
ι95 =   n! / (r! (n - r)!)
Step 3: Calculation
Now, calculate ι95:
ι95 = (9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5) / (5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1) = 126
Thus, the number of ways to select 5 justices who will reverse the decision is 126.
The correct answer is: Option A: 256

We are asked to find the number of ways in which 12 students can be equally divided into three groups. This is a problem of distributing the students into three groups where the groups are indistinguishable, and each group has 4 students.
Step 1: Total ways to divide students into 3 groups
The number of ways to divide 12 students into 3 groups of 4 students each is given by the formula for partitioning n objects into r groups of equal size:
Ways = 12C4 × 8C4 × 4C4 / 3!
Step 2: Calculation of combinations
First, we calculate the individual combinations:
12C4 = (12 × 11 × 10 × 9) / (4 × 3 × 2 × 1) = 495
8C4 = (8 × 7 × 6 × 5) / (4 × 3 × 2 × 1) = 70
4C4 = 1
Step 3: Apply the formula
Now, we apply the formula to find the total number of ways:
Ways = (495 × 70 × 1) / 6 = 5775

To form a parallelogram, we need to select two lines from one set of parallel lines and two lines from the other set. The intersection of these lines will give the four corners of the parallelogram.
Step 1: Number of ways to choose 2 lines from 4 parallel lines
This can be calculated using the combination formula ιnr, where n is the total number of lines and r is the number of lines we want to choose. So, the number of ways to choose 2 lines from 4 is:
ι42 = (4 × 3) / (2 × 1) = 6
Step 2: Number of ways to choose 2 lines from 3 parallel lines
Similarly, the number of ways to choose 2 lines from 3 is:
ι32 = (3 × 2) / (2 × 1) = 3
Step 3: Total number of parallelograms
Now, to form a parallelogram, we multiply the number of ways to choose 2 lines from each set:
Total number of parallelograms = ι42 × ι32 = 6 × 3 = 18

Freedom Institute answered  •  22 hours ago
The total number of handshakes in a party where each person shakes hands with every other person can be calculated using the formula for combinations, since the handshakes involve selecting 2 people from a total of n people. The number of ways to choose 2 people from n people is given by:
Number of handshakes = ιn(ιn-1)/2
We are told that the total number of handshakes is 66. Therefore, we can set up the equation:
n(n - 1)/2 = 66
Multiplying both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction:
n(n - 1) = 132
Now, solve for n. This is a quadratic equation:
n2 - n - 132 = 0
To solve this quadratic equation, we can use the quadratic formula:
n = (-(-1) ± √((-1)2 - 4(1)(-132)))/2(1)
n = (1 ± √(1 + 528))/2
n = (1 ± √529)/2
n = (1 ± 23)/2
So, n = (1 + 23)/2 = 12 or (1 - 23)/2 = -11.
Since the number of guests cannot be negative, we have n = 12.

We are given the equation 18Cr = 18C(r+2) and are asked to find the value of rC5.
Step 1: Understand the given equation
The given equation is:
18Cr = 18C(r+2)
Using the property of combinations, we know that nCk = nC(n-k). Therefore, we can equate the two combinations:
18Cr = 18C(18-r-2) (since r + 2 = 18 - r)
This simplifies to:
r = 18 - r - 2
Step 2: Solve for r
Now, solving for r:
r + r = 18 - 2
2r = 16
r = 8
Step 3: Find the value of rC5
Now that we know r = 8, we need to find 8C5.
We use the combination formula:
8C5 = 8! / (5!3!) = (8 × 7 × 6) / (3 × 2 × 1)
Now, simplifying the factorials:
8C5 = 336 / 6 = 56
Final Answer:
The value of rC5 is 56.

We are asked to find the value of 12C4 + 12C3.
Step 1: Formula for Combinations
The formula for combinations is:
nCk = n! / (k!(n - k)!)
Step 2: Calculate 12C4
Using the formula for combinations, we calculate 12C4:
12C4 = 12! / (4!8!) = (12 × 11 × 10 × 9) / (4 × 3 × 2 × 1) = 495
Step 3: Calculate 12C3
Similarly, we calculate 12C3:
12C3 = 12! / (3!9!) = (12 × 11 × 10) / (3 × 2 × 1) = 220
Step 4: Add 12C4 and 12C3
Now, we add 12C4 and 12C3:
12C4 + 12C3 = 495 + 220 = 715
Final Answer:
The value of 12C4 + 12C3 is 715.

Srsps answered  •  22 hours ago
We are asked to find the number of ways in which 5 persons can sit at a round table such that the tallest person is always to the right of the shortest person.
Step 1: Total Number of Arrangements without Any Restrictions
In a round table arrangement, the number of ways to arrange n persons is given by (n - 1)! because the arrangement is circular (rotations of the same arrangement are considered identical).
For 5 persons, the total number of ways to arrange them without any restriction is:
(5 - 1)! = 4! = 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 24
    
Step 2: Fixing the Positions of the Tallest and Shortest Persons
Since the tallest person must always be on the right side of the shortest person, we need to ensure that this condition is satisfied.
In a circular arrangement, if we fix the position of the shortest person (since the table is round, we can consider one position as fixed), there is only one specific seat to the right of the shortest person where the tallest person can sit. So, the tallest person's seat is fixed once we fix the shortest person's position.
Step 3: Arranging the Remaining 3 Persons
Once the shortest and tallest persons are seated, the remaining 3 persons can be arranged in the remaining 3 positions. The number of ways to arrange these 3 persons is:
3! = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6
Step 4: Final Calculation
Since we have fixed the positions of the shortest and tallest persons and can arrange the other 3 persons in 6 ways, the total number of valid arrangements is: 6
Final Answer:
The number of ways to arrange 5 persons at a round table such that the tallest person is always on the right side of the shortest person is 6.
