Case 1 :
Among four bags from one bag 4 balls are taken. Number of ways of choosing one bag from 4 bags = 4C1
From this bag number of ways of taking 4 balls are
(a) 3 Red and 1 Blue balls, which can be chosen in  JEE Advanced Previous Year Questions (2018 - 2023): Permutations and Combinations | Mathematics (Maths) for JEE Main & Advanced ways.
(b) 2 Red and 2 Blue balls, which can be chosen in JEE Advanced Previous Year Questions (2018 - 2023): Permutations and Combinations | Mathematics (Maths) for JEE Main & Advanced.
∴ Total number of ways of choosing this 4 balls from this bag = 4C1 JEE Advanced Previous Year Questions (2018 - 2023): Permutations and Combinations | Mathematics (Maths) for JEE Main & Advanced
Now, two balls are taken from remaining three bags.
From each bag two balls can be taken in 3C× 2C1 ways.So, for three bags two balls can be taken in (3C× 2C1)3 ways.
∴ Total number of ways of chosing 10 balls from these four bags
=  JEE Advanced Previous Year Questions (2018 - 2023): Permutations and Combinations | Mathematics (Maths) for JEE Main & Advanced
Case 2 :
Among four bags from two bags 3 balls are taken. Number of ways of chosing two bags from 4 bags = 4C2
From each bag, number of ways of taking 3 balls are
(a) 2 Red and 1 Blue balls, which can be chosen in 3C2 × 2C1 ways.
(b) 1 Red and 2 Blue balls, which can be chosen in 3C1 × 2C2 ways.
So, for two bags three balls can be taken in (3C2 × 2C1 + 3C1 × 2C2)2 ways.
∴ Total number of ways of choosing this 3 balls from this two bags = 4C2(3C× 2C1 + 3C1 × 2C2)2
Now, two balls are taken from remaining two bags.
From each bag two balls can be taken in 3C1 × 2C1 ways.
So, for two bags two balls can be taken in (3C1 × 2C1)2 ways.
∴ Total number of ways of chosing 10 balls from these four bags

JEE Advanced Previous Year Questions (2018 - 2023): Permutations and Combinations | Mathematics (Maths) for JEE Main & Advanced

This is a 4-digit integer whose 0th digit called D, 10th digit called C, 100th digit called B and 1000th digit called A.
Given range for possible number is 2022 to 4482.
So, position A can have digits 2, 3 or 4.
0, 6 and 7 can't put in A as number starts with 0, 6 or 7 don't fall in the range between 2022 to 4482.
So, Position A can be filled with 2, 3 or 4 in 3C1=3 ways.
Position B can be filled by one of 0, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7
So, total possible ways for position B = 6C1=6 ways
Similarly, Position C can be filled in 6C1=6 ways
Position D can be filled in 6C1=6 ways
∴ Total possible integer numbers starting with 2 or 3 or 4
= 3 × 6 × 6 × 6 = 3 × 216 = 648
Now lets find those numbers which starts with 2 and 4 but don't fall in the range between 2022 to 4482.
Situation 1:JEE Advanced Previous Year Questions (2018 - 2023): Permutations and Combinations | Mathematics (Maths) for JEE Main & Advanced

∴ Total possible numbers starting with 200 are = 6

Situation 2:

JEE Advanced Previous Year Questions (2018 - 2023): Permutations and Combinations | Mathematics (Maths) for JEE Main & Advanced

∴  Total possible number in this case = 1
Situation 3: 

JEE Advanced Previous Year Questions (2018 - 2023): Permutations and Combinations | Mathematics (Maths) for JEE Main & Advanced

Total numbers in this case = 2 × 6 × 6 = 72
∴ Total number that don't fall in the range 2022 to 4482 which starts with 2 or 4 are
= 6 + 1 + 72=79
∴ Total numbers falls in the range 2022 to 4482
=648 − 79

Q1: An engineer is required to visit a factory for exactly four days during the first 15 days of every month and it is mandatory that no two visits take place on consecutive days. Then the number of all possible ways in which such visits to the factory can be made by the engineer during 1 - 15 June 2021 is ...........     [JEE Advanced 2020 Paper 2]
Ans: 
495
Let the engineer visits the factory first time after x1 days to 1 June, second time after x2 days to first visit and so on.
∴ x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + x5 = 11
where x1, x5 ≥ 0 and x2, x3, x4 ≥ 1 according to the requirement of the question.
Now, let x2 = a + 1, x3 = b + 1 and x4 = c + 1 where a, b, c ≥ 0
∴ New equation will be
x1 + a + b + c + x5 = 8
Now, the number of all possible ways in which the engineer can made visits is equals to the non-negative integral solution of equation
x1 + a + b + c + x5 = 8, and it is equal to

Q2: In a hotel, four rooms are available. Six persons are to be accommodated in these four rooms in such a way that each of these rooms contains at least one person and at most two persons. Then the number of all possible ways in which this can be done is ..........     [JEE Advanced 2020 Paper 2]
Ans: 
1080
The groups of persons can be made only in 2, 2, 1, 1
 So the number of required ways is equal to number of ways to distribute the 6 distinct objects in group sizes 1, 1, 2 and 2

Q1: Let |X| denote the number of elements in a set X. Let S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} be a sample space, where each element is equally likely to occur. If A and B are independent events associated with S, then the number of ordered pairs (A, B) such that 1  |B| < |A|, equals .............    [JEE Advanced 2019 Paper 2]
Ans:

Given sample space S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} and let there are i elements in set A and j elements in set B.
Now, according to information 1  j < i  6.
When number of element in set B = 1 then number of elements in set A can be 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6. Number of such pairs of A and B in this case
