Five consonants can be arranged in 5! ways XCXCXCXCXCX
Arrangements of consonants as C above creates 6 gaps marked as X
Now, 3 vowels can be arranged in any three of these 6 gaps in ^6P_3 ways
So, total number of arrangements=5!*^6P_3=120*120=14400

Question:11

Find the number of positive integers greater than 6000 and less than 7000 which are divisible by 5, provided that no digit is to be repeated.

Answer:

A number is divisible by 5, if at the unit place of the number there is 0 or 5. So, unit digit can be filled in 2 ways. Since, we have to form 4-digit numbers greater than 6000 and less than 7000. ‘6’ can fill the thousandth place only.

The hundredth and tenth place can be filled together in 8*7 =56 ways. So, total number of ways = 56*2 =112

Question:12

Equation (i) + 2 Equation(ii)
10r - 3n +4n - 10r = 3 + 6
n = 9
r =3
^rC_2 = ^3C_2 = 3

Question:16

Find the number of integers greater than 7000 that can be formed with the digits 3, 5, 7, 8 and 9 where no digits are repeated. [Hint: Besides 4-digit integers greater than 7000, five digit integers are always greater than 7000.]

Answer:

Since, repetition is not allowed a maximum of 5- digit numbers can be formed with digits 3, 5,7, 8 and 9.

Since, all the 5-digit numbers are greater than 7000 the number of 5-digitintegers= 5*4*3*2*1=120

A 4-digit number is greater than 7000 if thousandth place has any of the 7,8 and 9. The remaining 3 places can be filled from remaining 4 digits in ^4P_3ways

So, total number of 4-digit integers = 3*^4P_3=3*4*3*2 =72

Total number of integers=120+72 =192

Question:17

If 20 lines are drawn in a plane such that no two of them are parallel and no three are concurrent, in how many points will they intersect each other?

Two straight lines create one point of intersection
Number of points of intersection = Number of combinations of 20 straight lines taken two at a time
=^{20}{C_{2}}=\frac{20 !}{2 ! 18 !}=20 * \frac{19}{2 * 1}=190

Question:18

In a certain city, all telephone numbers have six digits, the first two digits always being 41 or 42 or 46 or 62 or 64. How many telephone numbers have all six digits distinct?

Answer:

If first two digit is 41, the remaining 4 digits can be arranged in ^8P_4 ways= 8*7*6*5 =1680

In addition, if first two digits are 42, 46, 62 or 64 the remaining 4 can be arranged in ^8P_4 ways=8*7*6*5 =1680 ways.

So, total number of telephone numbers having all 6 digits different = 5*1680 =8400

Question:19

\\n_{c_{2}}-n=44 \\\\ \frac{n !}{2 !(n-2) !}-n=44 \\\\ \frac{n(n-1)}{2}-n=44 \\\\ n(n-1)-2 n=88 \\\\ n^{2}-3 n-88=0 \\\\ (n-11)(n+8) \\\\ n=11

Question:21

18 mice were placed in two experimental groups and one control group, with all groups equally large. In how many ways can the mice be placed into three groups?

Answer:

Since, 18 mice were placed equally in three groups. Each group had 6 mice
Number of ways of forming 3 groups each with 6 mice= ^{18}C_6*^{12}C_6*^{6}C_6=\frac{18!}{6!6!6!}
But this includes the order in which the three groups are formed i.e. 3! which should not be
counted.
So, actual number of ways=\frac{18!}{6!6!6!3!}

Question:53

State whether the statements in True or False.
In the permutations of n things, r taken together, the number of permutations in which m particular things occur together is ^{n-m}P_{r-m} \times ^rP_m.

Answer:

False. In arrangement of n things taken r at a time in which m occur together, first we
select \left ( r-m \right ) objects from \left (n-m \right ) objects in ^{n-m}C_{r-m} ways.
If we consider these m things as 1 group number of objects excluding these m objects=\left ( r-m \right )
Now, we have to arrange\left ( r-m+1 \right ) objects
Number of arrangements=\left ( r-m+1 \right )!
Also, m objects which are considered as 1 group can be arranged in m!ways
Required number of arrangements= ^{n-m}C_{r-m}*\left (r-m+1! \right )*m!
