Test: Combinatory- 3 - Computer Science Engineering (CSE) MCQ

Total possible number of functions is 2ⁿ. In mathematics, a function f from a set X to a set Y is surjective (or onto), or a surjection, if every element y in Y has a corresponding element x in X such that f(x) = y (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surjective_function) There are total 2 functions out of 2ⁿ that are NOT onto: one that maps to all 1s and other that maps to all 2s. Therefore total number of onto functions is 2ⁿ - 2.

Number of reflexive relations is 2^n2-n which is 2²⁰ for n = 5

No of inputs sequences possible for a n variable Boolean function = 2ⁿ Each input sequence can give either T or F as output ( 2 possible values ) So, Total no of Boolean functions are -

2X2X2X2X2X2X.............X2X2X2X2X2X2 <-------------------- 2ⁿ Times --------------> 2²ⁿ

At each move, robot can move either 1 unit right, or 1 unit up, and there will be 20 such moves required to reach (10,10) from (0,0). So we have to divide these 20 moves, numbered from 1 to 20, into 2 groups: right group and up group. Right group contains those moves in which we move right, and up group contains those moves in which we move up. Each group contains 10 elements each. So basically, we have to divide 20 things into 2 groups of 10 10 things each, i.e., we need to find all possible arrangements of {r, r, r, r, r, r, r, r, r, r, u, u, u, u, u, u, u, u, u, u} where r represents right move and u represents up move. The arrangements can can be done in 20! / (10!∗10!) = ²⁰C₁₀ ways. So option (A) is correct.

Since we are not allowed to traverse from (4,4) to (5,4), we subtract all those paths which were passing through (4,4) to (5,4). To count number of paths passing through (4,4) to (5,4), we find number of paths from (0,0) to (4,4), and then from (5,4) to (10,10).

So option (D) is correct.

We are considering a symmetric matrix (given in question). So, we need to look at half of elements ie. either upper or lower traingle i.e. A[i][j] = A[j][i] Hence, No. of elements = (n^2 + n)/2 Since, we have only two elements : 0 & 1 No. of choices = 2 Therefore, No. of possibilities = 2 ^ (No. of elements) = 2 ^ ((n^2 + n)/2) = power (2 , (n^2 + n)/2) 

This question is slightly ambiguous. So first let us understand what question is asking. So in a book, we have letters A-Z and each letter is printed twice, so there are 52 letters. Now we have to color each letter, so we need a pair of colors for that, because each letter is printed twice. Also in a pair, both colors can be some. Now condition is that a pair of colors can't be used more than once. So suppose Mala has 3 colors : Red, Blue, Green. She can color as follows : (A,A) : (Red,Red), (B,B) : (Blue,Blue), (C,C) : (Green,Green), (D,D) : (Red,Blue), (E,E) : (Red,Green), (F,F) : (Blue,Green). Now we don't have more pairs of colors left, we have used all pairs, but could color only 6 letters out of 26. So question is to find minimum no. of colors, so that we could color all 26 letters. So if Mala has k colors, she can have k pairs of same colors, thus coloring k letters, then kC2 other pairs of colors, thus coloring kC2 more letters. So total no. of letters colored = k+kC2=k+k(k−1)2=k(k+1)2. So we want k(k+1)2≥26 i.e. k(k+1)≥52, so k≥7, so option (C) is correct.

Suppose you have selected 3 elements from 8 in 8C3 ways, the remaining elements are treated as another array and merging both the arrays gives the sorted array. Here, you can select either 3 or 5. => 8C3 = 8C5 = 8!/(3!5!) = 7*8 = 56 Ways.

There are three options for every couple.

1) Nobody goes to gathering
2) Wife alone goes
3) Both go

Since there are n couples, total possible ways of gathering are 3ⁿ

This is very simple application of stars and bars. Since we want atleast k balls in each bag, so first we put kn balls into bags, k balls in each bag. Now we are left with m - kn balls, and we have to put them into n bags such that each bag may receive 0 or more balls. So applying theorem 2 of stars and bars with m - nk stars and n bars, we get number of ways to be ^m−kn+n-1 C_n−1. So option (B) is correct.

This is a basic permutation combination question. Considering two cases : numbers ending with 0 and not ending with 0: Numbers ending with 0 1{first place: 0} ∗9{fourth place: 9 possibilities, 1-9} ∗8{third place: 8 possibilities left} ∗7{second place: 7 possibilities left} = 504 Numbers ending with non-0 4{first place: 2,4,6,8} ∗8{fourth place: 8 possibilities left, 1-9}∗8{third place: 8 possibilities left b/w 0-9} ∗7{second place: 7 possibilities left b/w 0-9} = 2592 Total = 2296

I is true, as φ belongs to Powerset.
II is true, as an empty set is a subset of every set.
III is true as {5, {6}} belongs to Powerset.
IV is false, {5, {6}} is not a subset, but {{5, {6}}} is.
