  • Question 1
    2 / -0.83

    The number of different ways in which a man can invite one or more of his 6 friends to dinner is

    Solution

    He can invite one or more friends by inviting 1 friend, or 2 friends or 3 friends, or all the 6 friends.
    1 friend can be selected out of 6 in 6C1 = 6 ways
    2 friends can be selected out of 6 in 6C2 = 15 ways
    3 friends can be selected out of 6 in 6C3 = 20 ways
    4 friends can be selected out of 6 in 6C4 = 15 ways
    5 friends can be selected out of 6 in 6C5 = 6 ways
    6 friends can be selected out of 6 in 6C6 = 1 ways
    Therefore the required number of ways (combinations) = 6 + 15 + 20 + 15 + 6 + 1 = 63

  • Question 2
    2 / -0.83

    A lady arranges a dinner party for 6 guests .The number of ways in which they may be selected from among 10 friends if 2 of the friends will not attend the party together is

    Solution

    Let us say that the two particular friends are A and B.
    If A is invited among six guests and B is not, then:  number of  combinations to select 5 more guests from the remaining 8 friends:
         C(8, 5) =  8 ! / (5! 3!)  = 56
    If B is invited among the six guests and A is not , then the number of ways of selecting the remaining 5 guests =  C(8, 5) =  56
    Suppose both A and B are not included in the six guests list : then the number of such combinations =  C(8, 6) = 7 * 8 /2 = 28
    So the total number of sets of guests that can be selected =  140.

  • Question 3
    2 / -0.83

    In how many ways can a mixed doubles tennis game be arranged from a group of 10 players consisting of 6 men and 4 women

    Solution

    Mixed doubles includes 2 men and 2 women.
    Since 2 men are selected of 6 men
    ⇒number of ways = 6 C2
    Also 2 women are selected of 4 women
    ⇒number of ways = 4 C2
    But they also can be interchanged in 2 ways
    ∴Total no. of ways  

  • Question 4
    2 / -0.83

    The number of significant numbers which can be formed by using any number of the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 but using each not more than once in each number is

    Solution

    One digit positive integers are 0,1,2,3,4 =5 positive integers
    Number of one digit no. can be formed = 4
    Number of two digit no. can be formed = 4*4 = 16
    Number of three digit no. can be formed = 4*4*3 = 48
    Number of  four digit no. can be formed = 4*4*3*2 = 96
    Number of five digit no. can be formed = 4*4*3*2*1 = 96
    Total = 4+ 16+ 48+ 96+ 96 = 260

  • Question 5
    2 / -0.83

    Numbers greater than 1000 but not greater than 4000 are to be formed with the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, allowing repetitions, the number of possible numbers is

    Solution

    The smallest number in the series is 1000, a 4-digit number.  

    The largest number in the series is 4000, the only 4-digit number to start with 4.

    The left-most digit (thousands place) of each of the 4 digit numbers other than 4000 can take one of the 3 values 1 or 2 or 3.

    So, The left-most digits have values 3.

    The next 3 digits (hundreds, tens and units place) can take any of the 5 values 0 or 1 or 2 or 3 or 4.

    So, the next 3 digits have values 5.

    Hence, there are numbers.

    or 375 numbers from 1000 to 3999.

    Including 4000, there will be 376 such numbers.

  • Question 6
    2 / -0.83

    The number of all three digit even numbers such that if 5 is one of the digits then next digit is 7 is

    Solution

    Correct Answer :- c

    Explanation : As given condition is , 5 must be followed by 7. So only possible way is 57X where X denotes 0,2,4,6 and 8.

    So,total no. of ways=1 ×1 ×5=5

    Hence, total ways in which we can make a 3-digit even no. without violating given condition are:

    360+5=365

  • Question 7
    2 / -0.83

    A coin is tossed n times, the number of all the possible outcomes is

    Solution

    If coin is tossed n times then possible number of outcomes = 2n ​

  • Question 8
    2 / -0.83

    The figures 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 are written in every possible order. The number of numbers greater than 56000 is

    Solution

    There are in total 6 numbers, 4,5,6,7,8.
    Now consider the number 56000
    Consider the numbers of the form
    56 −−−.
    Considering no repetitions we get
    3 ×2 ×1 = 6 numbers.
    Similarly for 57 −−−and 58 −−−.
    Hence 3 ×6 = 18 numbers.
    Now consider the numbers starting with 6.
    6 −−−−
    We get 4 ×3 ×2 ×1 = 24.
    Similarly for the numbers starting with 7 and 8 we get in total 24 numbers each.
    Hence total number of numbers greater than 56000 will be
    = (24 ×3)+18
    = 72+18 = 90

  • Question 9
    2 / -0.83

    If  n P5  = 60n −1 P3 , then n is

    Solution

     N!/(n-5)! = 60 ×(n-1)!/(n-1-3)!
    n!/(n-5)! = 60 ×(n-1)!/(n-4)!
    n(n-1)!/(n-5)!=60 ×(n-1)!/(n-4)×(n-5)!
    n=60/(n-4)
    n(n-4)=60
    n^2-4n-60=0
    (n-10)(n+6)=0
    n=10 and n is not equal to -6.

  • Question 10
    2 / -0.83

    The number of ways in which the 6 faces of a cube can be painted with 6 different colours is

    Solution

    Number of sides of a cube = 6
    Number of colour of a cube = 6
    Number of ways of colouring =?
    Consider a cube in 3D space  
    Each of the sides towards East West North South and remaning two up and down  
    Now fixing up positions down is also fixed  
    Total number of ways  
    = 6!/(4 ×6)
    ​= 5 ×3 ×2  
    = 30 Ways
    Hence, the correct answer is 30 Ways

  • Question 11
    2 / -0.83

    The number of ways in which the 4 faces of a regular tetrahedron can be painted with 4 different colours is

    Solution

     The correct answer is A

    Given are four faces and four different colours

    So , number of colours for first face=4

    No. of colours for 2nd face=3 (as one will be used by the first face)

    No. of colours for 3rd face=2

    No. of colours for 4th face=1

    So total options are=4*3*2*1=4!=24

    Taking F at first place = 3! 
    Taking I in the first place = 3!
    W in first and E in second = 2!
    W in first F in second and E in third = 1! 
    W in first I in second and E in third = 1  
    W in first I in second and F in third = 1  
    W in first I in second and F in third and E in fourth = 1  
    Total =24

    Solution

    Out of 1, 3, 5, 7, 9
    No. of 1-digit numbers = 5
    No. of 2-digit numbers = 5*4 = 20
    No. of 3-digit numbers = 5*4*3 = 60
    No. of 4-digit numbers = 5*4*3*2 = 120
    No. of 5-digit numbers = 5*4*3*2*1 = 120
    Total no. of numbers = 5 + 20 + 60 + 120 + 120 = 325

  • Question 16
    2 / -0.83

    In a multiple choice question, there are 4 alternatives, of which one or more are correct. The number of ways in which a candidate can attempt this question is

    Solution

    To solve this problem, we need to calculate the total number of ways a candidate can attempt the multiple-choice question where there are 4 alternatives, and one or more can be correct.

    Step 1: Consider each alternative

    Each of the 4 alternatives can either be:

    1. Selected (included in the answer)
    2. Not selected (excluded from the answer)

    So, for each alternative, there are 2 choices (select or not select).

    Step 2: Calculate the total number of combinations

    If there were no restrictions (i.e., selecting none is allowed), the total number of combinations would be 24 =16

    Step 3: Subtract the invalid case

    Since at least one alternative must be selected (one or more are correct), we subtract the one case where none of the alternatives are selected:

    24 −1=16 −1=15

  • Question 19
    2 / -0.83

    Number of ways in which 10 different things can be divided into two groups containing 6 and 4 things respectively is

    Solution

    Forming the first group by choosing 4 things out of 10 things,the total number of ways will be =10C4
    Now,forming these group by choosing 6 things,the total number of ways =
    6C6 ​
    Therefore,the total number of ways = 10C4 ​∗6C6
    = C(10,4)
