  • Question 1
    2 / -0.83

    A fair dice is rolled n times. The number of all the possible outcomes is

  • Question 2
    2 / -0.83

    The sum of all the numbers which can be formed by using the digits  1,3,5,7  all at a time and which have no digit repeated, is

    Solution

    Sum of the numbers  (S) formed by taking all the given  n  digits is-

    S=(sum of all digits)×(n −1)!×(111....n times)

    Now according to the question, the digits are  1,3,5,7

    ∴n = 4

    Sum of digits  = 1+3+5+7 = 16

    ∴S = 16 ×3!×1111

    Hence the correct answer is  16 ×3!×1111.

    4 boys and 4 girls are to be seated in a row. The number of ways in which this can be done, if the boys and girls sit alternately, is

    Solution

     

  • Question 4
    2 / -0.83

    The letters of the word ‘SOCIETY ’are arranged in such a manner that the vowels and consonants occur alternately, the number of different words so obtained is

  • Question 5
    2 / -0.83

    There are 10 true-false questions. The number of ways in which they can be answered is [ it is must to attempt the question ]

  • Question 6
    2 / -0.83

    The number of ways in which 6 “+ “and 4 “–“signs can be arranged in a line such that no two “–“signs occur together is

    Solution

    ′+′signs can be put in a row in one way creating seven gaps shown as arrows:
    Now 4 ′−′signs must be kept in these gaps. So, no tow ′−′signs should be together.
    Out of these 7 gaps 4 can be chosen in 7C4 ways.

  • Question 7
    2 / -0.83

    On a railway track, there are 20 stations. The number of tickets required in order that it may be possible to book a passenger from every station to every other is

    Solution

    Number of tickets selected from first station =20
    from second =19
    .... for last station =0
    We have to select 2 consecutive stations
    so total number of possible tickets = P(20,2)

  • Question 8
    2 / -0.83

    A class is composed 2 brothers and 6 other boys. In how many ways can all the boys be seated at the round table so that the 2 brothers are not seated besides each other?

    Solution

    Take 1 person from 6 and fix him and 5 others can arranged in -- 5! ways=120

    there are 6 places left in which 2 brothers can sit

    so they can choose any 2 places from 6 - 6C2 ways=15

    2 brothers can arrange themselves in 2! ways=15*2=30

    total ways=120*30=3600

    Solution

  • Question 10
    2 / -0.83

    The number of ways in which 8 different flowers can be strung to form a garland so that 4 particular flowers are never separated is

    Solution

    It is asked  to find out the number of ways in which 8 different flowers can be seated to form a garland so that 4 particular flowers are never separated.

     

    According to the question, there are 8 flowers, but it is given that four particular flowers are never separated. So four particular flowers will always remain adjacent to each other.

    To solve this problem we should know the following cases of circular permutations:

    • If clockwise and anti-clockwise orders are different, the total number of circular permutations is: (n-1)!.
    • If anti-clockwise and clockwise orders are taken as the same, then the total number of circular permutations is given by (n-1)!/2!

    It is important to know which formula is applicable in this case.

    When we turn a garland it forms a different arrangement. But it still is the same garland.
    For example, consider a set of numbers like ‘1234 ’. When turned around it looks like ‘4321 ’but it still is the same permutation of numbers.
    In a similar way, the garland when turned might have a different permutation but it still is the same garland.
    Therefore we ’ll use the 2nd formula.
    For n distinct objects in which clockwise and anticlockwise orders are taken as the same, the total number of circular permutations is: (n-1)!/2
    Here in this case, given that four flowers must be together in all cases.
    So we ’ll club together all four particular flowers and consider this as one object.
    Now we have 5 different objects - four flowers and four particular flowers clubbed as one object. Now we have to arrange these five objects in five circular seats.
    In that case, the number of permutations is (5-1)!
    And in every permutation, the clubbed flowers can be arranged in 4! ways.
    So there are a total of (5-1)! * 4! Permutations.
    But we have seen that the garland is the same in anticlockwise and clockwise order.
    Therefore for every permutation, we have included its rotated permutation.
    So the total number of circular permutations of garlands is : (5-1)!*4! /2

    (5-1)! * 4! /2 = (4*3*2*1)*(4*3*2*1)/2
    = 24 * 12 = 288

    Thus the total number of ways in which 8 different flowers can be seated to form a garland so that four particular flowers are never separated is 288.

  • Question 11
    2 / -0.83

    Different calendars for the month of February are made so as to serve for all the coming years. The number of such calendars is

    Solution

    The mint has to perform two jobs:
    1) Selecting the number of days in the February month i.e., 28 or 29
    2) Selecting the first day of February month.
    The first job can be completed in 2 ways while second job can be completed in 7 ways by selecting any one of the seven days of a week.
    Thus, the required number of plates = 2 x 7 = 14.

  • Question 12
    2 / -0.83

    The number of all odd divisors of 3600 is

    Solution

     Number 1 is odd. As any number is divisible by 1: 1
    Do prime factorisation of 3600: 2*2*2*2*3*3*5*5
    Select all odd numbers from above: 3,3,5,5
    Try every possible products of these:
    Single number: 3, 5
    Two numbers: 3*3, 3*5, 5*5: 9,15,25
    Three numbers: 3*3*5, 3*5*5: 45, 75
    All four: 3*3*5*5: 225
    The odd divisors are: 1,3,5,9,15,25,45,75,225
    There are 9 odd divisors of 3600.

  • Question 13
    2 / -0.83

  • Question 15
    2 / -0.83

    The number of all possible positive integral solutions of the equation xyz = 30 is

    Solution

    All possible three number multiplications originate from the following triads:
    1,1,30
    1,2,15
    1,3,10
    1,5,6
    2,3,5
    First one can have 3!/2! = 3 ways and the remaining four triads can have 3! combinations
    total combinations = 3 + 4*3! = 27

  • Question 18
    2 / -0.83

    An online examination have 12 question out of which we havethe alternative to select the answer. Choose how many ways can be there in which one can answer the question

    Solution

    No.of choices for each question = 3
     
    There are six questions so total = (3)12
    So no.of ways = (3)12 - 1

  • Question 21
    2 / -0.83

    The number of three digit numbers having atleast one digit as 5 is

    Solution

    These digit number without digit 5 →100....999
    →these are 900 three-digit number
    →from 100 to 199 →19 number with 5.
    200 −299 →19
    300 −399 →19
    400 −499 →19
    600 −699 →19
    700 −799 →19
    800 −899 →19
    900 −999 →19
    500 −599 →100
    total number with 5=19 ×8+100 for (500-599)
     =152+100
     =252

    2.6.10.14... to n factors = (2n)!/n! 
    = 2(1.3.5.7 ………………25)
    2.6.10.14... to 50 factors = (2*2*25)!/25! 
     = 100!/25!
