ight)$$ $$eqalign{

& = 209 cr} $$
2: D
Solution: Since each desired number is divisible by 5, so we must have 5 at the unit place. So, there is 1 way of doing it. The tens place can now be filled by any of the remaining 5 digits (2, 3, 6, 7, 9). So, there are 5 ways of filling the tens place. The hundreds place can now be filled by any of the remaining 4 digits. So, there are 4 ways of filling it. ∴ Required number of numbers = (1 x 5 x 4) = 20
3: C
Solution: $$eqalign{
& { ext{Required}},{ ext{number}},{ ext{of}},{ ext{ways}} cr
& = {{}^8{C_5} imes {}^{10}{C_6}} cr

& = 11760 cr} $$
4: C
Solution: We may have(1 black and 2 non-black) or (2 black and 1 non-black) or (3 black). ∴ Required number of ways $$eqalign{
& = left( {{}^3{C_1} imes {}^6{C_2}}

& = 64 cr} $$
5: C
Solution: There are 6 letters in the given word, out of which there are 3 vowels and 3 consonants. Let us mark these positions as under: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) Now, 3 vowels can be placed at any of the three places out 4, marked 1, 3, 5 Number of ways of arranging the vowels = 3 P 3 = 3! = 6 Also, the 3 consonants can be arranged at the remaining 3 positions. Number of ways of these arrangements = 3 P 3 = 3! = 6 Total number of ways = (6 x 6) = 36
6: A, F
Solution: $$eqalign{
& { ext{Required number of ways}} cr
& = {{}^7{C_5} imes {}^3{C_2}} cr
& = {{}^7{C_2} imes {}^3{C_1}} cr
& = {frac{{7 imes 6}}{{2 imes 1}} imes 3} cr
& = 63 cr} $$
7: C
Solution: 'LOGARITHMS' contains 10 different letters. Required number of words = Number of arrangements of 10 letters, taking 4 at a time. = 10 P 4 = (10 x 9 x 8 x 7) = 5040
8: C
Solution: In the word 'MATHEMATICS', we treat the vowels AEAI as one letter. Thus, we have MTHMTCS (AEAI). Now, we have to arrange 8 letters, out of which M occurs twice, T occurs twice and the rest are different. ∴ Number of ways of arranging these letters = $$frac{{8!}}{{left( {2!}
ight)left( {2!}
ight)}}$$ xa0 = 10080 Now, AEAI has 4 letters in which A occurs 2 times and the rest are different. Number of ways of arranging these letters = $$frac{{4!}}{{2!}}$$ = 12 ∴ Required number of words = (10080 x 12) = 120960
9: B
Solution: The word 'OPTICAL' contains 7 different letters. When the vowels OIA are always together, they can be supposed to form one letter. Then, we have to arrange the letters PTCL (OIA). Now, 5 letters can be arranged in 5! = 120 ways. The vowels (OIA) can be arranged among themselves in 3! = 6 ways. Therefore Required number of ways = (120 x 6) = 720
10: A
Solution: Choosing 2 people out of 20 will result in a handshake and the same can be done in 20 C 2 ways $${ Rightarrow ^{20}}{C_2} = frac{{20 imes 19}}{{2!}} = 190$$
11: D
Solution: The given word contains 7 letters out of which E is taken 2 times and all other letters are different . ∴ Required number of ways $$eqalign{

Solution: 7 does not occur in 1000. So we have to count the number of times it appears between 1 and 999. Any number between 1 and 999 can be expressed in the form of xyz where 0 < x, y, z < 9. 1. The numbers in which 7 occurs only once. e.g 7, 17, 78, 217, 743 etc This means that 7 is one of the digits and the remaining two digits will be any of the other 9 digits (i.e 0 to 9 with the exception of 7) You have 1 × 9 × 9 = 81 such numbers. However, 7 could appear as the first or the second or the third digit. Therefore, there will be 3 × 81 = 243 numbers (1-digit, 2-digits and 3- digits) in which 7 will appear only once. In each of these numbers, 7 is written once. Therefore, 243 times. 2. The numbers in which 7 will appear twice. e.g 772 or 377 or 747 or 77 In these numbers, one of the digits is not 7 and it can be any of the 9 digits ( 0 to 9 with the exception of 7). There will be 9 such numbers. However, this digit which is not 7 can appear in the first or second or the third place. So there are 3 × 9 = 27 such numbers. In each of these 27 numbers, the digit 7 is written twice. Therefore, 7 is written 54 times. 3. The number in which 7 appears thrice - 777 - 1 number. 7 is written thrice in it. Therefore, the total number of times the digit 7 is written between 1 and 999 is = 243 + 54 + 3 = 300

Solution: 1 million distinct 3 digit initials are needed.

Let the number of required alphabets in the language be 'n'. Therefore, using 'n' alphabets we can form n × n × n = n 3 distinct 3 digit initials. NOTE: Distinct initials are different from initials where the digits are different.
For instance, AAA and BBB are acceptable combinations in the case of distinct initials while they are not permitted when the digits of the initials need to be different. This n 3 different initials = 1 million. i.e. n 3 = 10 6 (1 million =10 6 ) n 3 = 10 2 3 n = 10 2 n = 100

Hence, the language needs to have a minimum of 100 alphabets

Solution: ALLAHABAD = 9 letters. Out of these 9 letters there is 4 A's and 2 L's are there. So, permutations = $$frac{{9!}}{{4!.2!}}$$ = 7560 (a) There are 4 vowels and all are alike i.e. 4A's. _2 nd _4 th _6 th _8 th _ These even places can be occupied by 4 vowels. In $$frac{{4!}}{{4!}}$$ = 1 Way. In other five places 5 other letter can be occupied of which two are alike i.e. 2L's. Number of ways = $$frac{{5!}}{{2!}}$$ Ways. Hence, total number of ways in which vowels occupy the even places = $$frac{{5!}}{{2!}}$$ × 1 = 60 ways. (b) Taking both L's together and treating them as one letter we have 8 letters out of which A repeats 4 times and others are distinct. These 8 letters can be arranged in $$frac{{8!}}{{4!}}$$ = 1680 ways. Also two L can be arranged themselves in 2! ways. So, Total no. of ways in which L are together = 1680 × 2 = 3360 ways. Now, Total arrangement in which L never occur together, = Total arrangement - Total no. of ways in which L occur together. = 7560 - 3360 = 4200 ways

Solution: The given words contains 7 letters of which N is taken 2 times. We keep the vowels (AI) together and treat them as 1 letter. Thus, we have to arrange 6 letters BNKNG (AI) of which N occurs 2 times and rest are different. These can be arranged in $$frac{6!}{2!}$$ = (6 × 5 × 4 × 3 ) = 360 days Now 2 vowels (AI) can be arranged among themselves in 2 ways. ∴ Required number of ways = (360 × 2) = 720

Solution: Total number of arrangements = $$frac{{8!}}{{4! imes 2! imes 2!}}$$ xa0xa0= 420 Since, there are two 1's and two 0's, the number of arrangements in which the first 1 is before the first 2 is same as the number of arrangement in which the first 2 is before the first 1 and they are each equal to half the total number of arrangements = 210
76: B
Solution: If the two P’s were distinct (they could have different subscripts and colours), the number of possible permutations would have been 5! = 120 For example let us consider one permutation: P 1 LEAP 2 Now if we permute the P’s amongst them we still get the same word PLEAP. The two P’s can be permuted amongst them in 2! ways. We were counting P 1 LEAP 2 and P 2 LEAP 1 as different arrangements only because we were artificially distinguishing between the two P’s Hence the number of different five letter words that can be formed is: = $$frac{{5!}}{{left(1!
ight) left(2!
ight) left(1!
ight) left(1!
ight)}}$$ = 60

Solution: ABACUS is a 6 letter word with 3 of the letters being vowels.
If the 3 vowels have to appear together as stated in the question, then there will 3 consonants and a set of 3 vowels grouped together.
One group of 3 vowels and 3 consonants are essentially 4 elements to be rearranged. The number of possible rearrangements is 4! The group of 3 vowels contains two a s and one u The 3 vowels can rearrange amongst themselves in $$frac{{3!}}{{2!}}$$ ways as the vowel a appears twice. Hence, the total number of rearrangements in which the vowels appear together are: $$frac{{4! imes 3!}}{{2!}}$$
87: A
Solution: If the word started with the letter A then the remaining 5 positions can be filled in 5! Ways. If it started with c then the remaining 5 positions can be filled in 5! Ways. Similarly if it started with H, I, N the remaining 5 positions can be filled in 5! Ways. If it started with S then the remaining position can be filled with A, C, H, I, N in alphabetical order as on dictionary. The required word SACHIN can be obtained after the 5 × 5! = 600 Ways. i.e. SACHIN is the 601 th word.
88: C
Solution: 6 people can be made to stand in a line in 6! Ways. However, the problem introduces a constraint that no man stands in a position that is ahead of his wife. For any 2 given positions out of the 6 occupied by a man and his wife, the pair cannot rearrange amongst themselves in 2! Ways as the wife has to be in a position ahead of the man. Only one of the 2! arrangements is allowed. As there are 3 couples in the group, the total number of ways gets reduced by a factor of (2! × 2! × 2!) Hence, the total number of ways, = $$frac{{6!}}{{2! imes 2! imes 2!}}$$
89: B
Solution: Case A: Five 6 and one 'zero' = $$frac{{6!}}{{5!}}$$xa0 = 6 Case B: Four 6 and one '2' and one '4' = $$frac{{6!}}{{4!}}$$ = 30 Case C: Three 6 and three '4' = $$frac{{6!}}{{3! imes 3!}}$$xa0 = 20 Case D: Four 6 and two '3' = $$frac{{6!}}{{4! imes 2!}}$$xa0 = 15 Total number of different sequences = 71
90: D
Solution: The word MANAGEMENT is a 10 letter word. Normally, any 10 letter word can be rearranged in 10! ways. However, as there are certain letters of the word repeating, we need to account for those. In this case, the letters A, M, E and N repeat twice each. Therefore, the number of ways in which the letters of the word MANAGEMENT can be rearranged reduces to: $$frac{{10!}}{{2! imes 2! imes 2! imes 2!}}$$

The problem requires us to find out the number of outcomes in which the two As do not appear together.


The number of outcomes in which the two As appear together can be found out by considering the two As as one single letter. Therefore, there will now be only 9 letters of which three of them E, N and M repeat twice. So these 9 letters with 3 of them repeating twice can be rearranged in: $$frac{{9!}}{{2! imes 2! imes 2!}}$$ xa0 ways. Therefore, the required answer in which the two As do not appear next to each other
91: C
Solution: numbers between 100 and 1000 = 900 Numbers between 100 and 1000 which do not have digit 6 in any place, = 8 × 9 × 9 = 648

Solution: The possible outcomes that satisfy the condition of at least one house gets the wrong package are:
One house gets the wrong package or two houses get the wrong package or three houses get the wrong package.

We can calculate each of these cases and then add them together, or approach this problem from a different angle. The only case which is left out of the condition is the case where no wrong packages are delivered. If we determine the total number of ways the three packages can be delivered and then subtract the one case from it, the remainder will be the three cases above. There is only one way for no wrong packages delivered to occur. This is the same as everyone gets the right package. The first person must get the correct package and the second person must get the correct package and the third person must get the correct package. ⇒ 1 × 1 × 1 = 1 Determine the total number of ways the three packages can be delivered. ⇒ 3 × 2 × 1 = 6 The number of ways at least one house gets the wrong package is: ⇒ 6 - 1 = 5 Therefore there are 5 ways for at least one house to get the wrong package.

Solution: At least 1 question from each section is compulsory, so from the 1 st section the candidate can attempt 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 questions.
In each section each question can be dealt with in 2 ways, i.e. either he attempts it or leaves it. So far 4 question there are 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 ways to attempt. As he has to attempt at least 1 question, the total number of ways in which he can attempt questions from 1st section is 2 4 - 1

Similarly for the 2 nd section there are 2 5 - 1 ways in which he can attempt and for the 3 rd section there are 2 6 - 1 ways. The ways in which the attempts one or more questions in any section is independent of the number of ways in which he attempts one or more questions from the other sections. Thus, total number of ways in which he can attempt questions in that paper: = (2 4 - 1)(2 5 - 1)(2 6 - 1) = 15 × 31 × 63 = 29295

Solution: Given there are 12 numbered chairs, such that chairs numbered 1 to 8 should be occupied. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 , 9, 10, 11, 12 The various combinations of chairs that ensure that no two men are sitting together are listed. (1, 3, 5, __ ), The fourth chair can be 5,6,10,11 or 12, hence 5 ways. (1, 4, 8, __ ), The fourth chair can be 6,10,11 or 12 hence 4 ways. (1, 5, 8, __ ), the fourth chair can be 10,11 or 12 hence 3 ways. (1, 6, 8, __ ), the fourth chair can be 10,11 or 12 hence 3 ways. (1, 8, 10, 12) is also one of the combinations. Hence, 16 such combinations exist. In case of each these combinations we can make the four men inter arrange in 4! ways. Hence, the required result =16 × 4! = 384

Solution: If n is even, then the number of boys should be equal to number of girls, let each be a .
⇒ n = 2a Then the number of arrangements = 2 × a! × a! If one more students is added, then number of arrangements, = a! × (a + 1)! But this is 200% more than the earlier ⇒ 3 × (2 × a! × a!) = a! × (a + 1)! ⇒ a + 1 = 6 and a = 5 ⇒ n = 10 But if n is odd, then number of arrangements,
= a!(a + 1)! Where, n = 2a + 1 When one student is included, number of arrangements, = 2(a + 1)! (a + 1)!
By the given condition, 2(a + 1) = 3, which is not possible.

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. 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. Hence, there are 3 × 5 × 5 × 5 or 375 numbers from 1000 to 3999 Including 4000, there will be 376 such numbers.

Solution: Test of divisibility for 3: The sum of the digits of any number that is divisible by 3 is divisible by 3 For instance, take the number 54372 Sum of its digits is 5 + 4 + 3 + 7 + 2 = 21 As 21 is divisible by 3 , 54372 is also divisible by 3 There are six digits viz., 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. To form 5-digit numbers we need exactly 5 digits. So we should not be using one of the digits. The sum of all the six digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 is 15. We know that any number is divisible by 3 if and only if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3 Combining the two criteria that we use only 5 of the 6 digits and pick them in such a way that the sum is divisible by 3, we should not use either 0 or 3 while forming the five digit numbers. Case 1 If we do not use '0', then the remaining 5 digits can be arranged in: 5! ways = 120 numbers. Case 2 If we do not use '3', then the arrangements should take into account that '0' cannot be the first digit as a 5-digit number will not start with '0'. The first digit from the left can be any of the 4 digits 1, 2, 4 or 5 Then the remaining 4 digits including '0' can be arranged in the other 4 places in 4! ways. So, there will be 4 × 4! numbers = 4 × 24 = 96 numbers. Combining Case 1 and Case 2, there are a total of 120 + 96 = 216, 5 digit numbers divisible by '3' that can be formed using the digits 0 to 5.
141: C
Solution: Initially we look at the general case of the seats not numbered.
The total number of cases of arranging 8 men and 2 women, so that women are together,
⇒ 8! ×2!

The number of cases where in the women are not together,
⇒ 9! - (8! × 2!) = Q

Now, when the seats are numbered, it can be considered to a linear arrangement and the number of ways of arranging the group such that no two women are together is,
⇒ 10! - (9! × 2!)

But the arrangements where in the women occupy the first and the tenth chairs are not favorable as when the chairs which are assumed to be arranged in a row are arranged in a circle, the two women would be sitting next to each other.

The number of ways the women can occupy the first and the tenth position,
= 8! × 2!

The value of P = 10! - (9! × 2!) - (8! × 2!) Thus P : Q = 10 : 1

144: C
Solution: The word 'LEADING' has 7 different letters. When the vowels EAI are always together, they can be supposed to form one letter. Then, we have to arrange the letters LNDG (EAI). Now, 5 (4 + 1 = 5) letters can be arranged in 5! = 120 ways. The vowels (EAI) can be arranged among themselves in 3! = 6 ways. Therefore Required number of ways = (120 x 6) = 720
145: D
Solution: In the word 'CORPORATION', we treat the vowels OOAIO as one letter. Thus, we have CRPRTN (OOAIO). This has 7 (6 + 1) letters of which R occurs 2 times and the rest are different. Number of ways arranging these letters = $$frac{{7!}}{{2!}}$$ = 2520 Now, 5 vowels in which O occurs 3 times and the rest are different, can be arranged in $$frac{{5!}}{{3!}}$$ = 20 ways ∴ Required number of ways = (2520 x 20) = 50400

& = left( {frac{{7 imes 6 imes 5}}{{3 imes 2 imes 1}} imes frac{{4 imes 3}}{{2 imes 1}}}
ight) cr
& = 210 cr} $$ Number of groups, each having 3 consonants and 2 vowels = 210 Each group contains 5 letters. Number of ways of arranging 5 letters among themselves = 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120 ∴ Required number of ways = (210 x 120) = 25200
147: C
Solution: The word 'LEADER' contains 6 letters, namely 1L, 2E, 1A, 1D and 1R. ∴ Required number of ways

Solution: Let n be the number of persons in the party Number of hands shake = 105 Total number of hands shake is given by n C 2 Now, According to the question,
$$eqalign{
& ^n{{ ext{C}}_2} = 105 cr
& { ext{or, }}frac{{n!}}{{2! imes left( {n - 2}
ight)!}} = 105 cr
& { ext{or, }}frac{{n imes left( {n - 1}
ight)}}{2} = 105 cr
& { ext{or, }}{n^2} - n = 210 cr
& { ext{or, }}{n^2} - n - 210 = 0 cr
& { ext{or, }}n = 15,, - 14 cr} $$
But, we cannot take negative value of n
So, n = 15 i.e. number of persons in the party = 15

Solution: The toys are different
The boxes are identical. If none of the boxes is to remain empty, then we can pack the toys in one of the following ways: Case i. 2, 2, 1 Case ii. 3, 1, 1 Case i: Number of ways of achieving the first option 2, 2, 1 Two toys out of the 5 can be selected in 5 C 2 ways. Another 2 out of the remaining 3 can be selected in 3 C 2 ways and the last toy can be selected in 1 C 1 way. However, as the boxes are identical, the two different ways of selecting which box holds the first two toys and which one holds the second set of two toys will look the same. Hence, we need to divide the result by 2. Therefore, total number of ways of achieving the 2, 2, 1 option is: $$frac{{^5{C_2}{ imes ^3}{C_2}}}{2} = frac{{10 imes 3}}{2} = 15,{ ext{ways}}$$ Case ii: Number of ways of achieving the second option 3, 1, 1 Three toys out of the 5 can be selected in $$^5{C_3}$$ ways. As the boxes are identical, the remaining two toys can go into the two identical looking boxes in only one way. Therefore, total number of ways of getting the 3, 1, 1 option is $$^5{C_3}$$ = 10 ways. Total ways in which the 5 toys can be packed in 3 identical boxes = number of ways of achieving Case i + number of ways of achieving Case ii = 15 + 10 = 25 ways.
