Test: JEE Main 35 Year PYQs- Permutations & Combinations - Question 3

Five digit number divisible by 3 is formed using 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 without repetition. Total number of such numbers are [2002]

Detailed Solution for Test: JEE Main 35 Year PYQs- Permutations & Combinations - Question 3

We know that a number is divisible by 3 only when the sum of  the digits is divisible by 3. The given digits are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Here the possible number of combinations  of 5 digits out of 6 are 5C4 = 5, which are as follows
– 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15 = 3 × 5
0 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 14 (not divisible by 3)
0 + 1 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 13 (not divisible by 3)
0 + 1 + 2 + 4 + 5 = 12 =  3 × 4
0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 5 = 11 (not divisible by 3)
0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10  ( not divisible by 3)
Thus the number should contain the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or  the digits 0, 1, 2, 4, 5.
Taking 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, the 5 digit numbers are = 5! = 120
Taking 0, 1, 2, 4, 5, the 5 digit numbers are = 5! – 4! = 96
∴  Total number of numbers = 120 + 96 = 216

Test: JEE Main 35 Year PYQs- Permutations & Combinations - Question 4

Required sum = (2 + 4 + 6 + ... + 100) + (5 + 10 + 15 + ... + 100)
    – (10 + 20 + ... + 100)
= 2550 + 1050 – 530 = 3050.

Test: JEE Main 35 Year PYQs- Permutations & Combinations - Question 5

If nCr denotes the number of combination of n things taken r at a time, then the expression nCr +1 + nC r -1 + 2 x nCr equals[2003]

Detailed Solution for Test: JEE Main 35 Year PYQs- Permutations & Combinations - Question 5

n Cr +1 + n Cr -1+ 2nCr = nCr -1+ n Cr + nCr nCr +1  

Test: JEE Main 35 Year PYQs- Permutations & Combinations - Question 6

A student is to answer 10 out of  13   questions  in  an examination such that he must choose at least 4 from  the first five questions. The number of choices available to him is[2003]

(i) Selecting  4 out of first five question and 6  out  of remaining 8 question  
= 5C4 x 8 C6 = 140 choices.
(ii) Selecting 5 out of first five question and 5  out of remaining  8 questions
= 5C5 x 8 C5 = 56 choices.
∴ total number of choices =140 + 56 = 196.
