Question Detail
Evaluate combination
\begin{aligned}
^{100}{C}_{100}
\end{aligned}
- 10000
- 1000
- 10
- 1
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
\begin{aligned}
^{n}{C}_{n} = 1 \\
^{100}{C}_{100} = 1
\end{aligned}
1. In how many ways can the letters of the CHEATER be arranged
- 20160
- 2520
- 360
- 80
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
As we can see the letter "E" is twice in given word, so Required Number
\begin{aligned}
= \frac{7!}{2!} \\
= \frac{7*6*5*4*3*2!}{2!} \\
= 2520
\end{aligned}
2. In a group of 6 boys and 4 girls, four children are to be selected. In how many different ways can they be selected such that at least one boy should be there
- 109
- 128
- 138
- 209
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
In a group of 6 boys and 4 girls, four children are to be selected such that
at least one boy should be there.
So we can have
(four boys) or (three boys and one girl) or (two boys and two girls) or (one boy and three gils)
This combination question can be solved as
\begin{aligned}
(^{6}{C}_{4}) + (^{6}{C}_{3} * ^{4}{C}_{1}) + \\
+ (^{6}{C}_{2} * ^{4}{C}_{2}) + (^{6}{C}_{1} * ^{4}{C}_{3}) \\
= \left[\dfrac{6 \times 5 }{2 \times 1}\right] + \left[\left(\dfrac{6 \times 5 \times 4 }{3 \times 2 \times 1}\right) \times 4\right] + \\\left[\left(\dfrac{6 \times 5 }{2 \times 1}\right)\left(\dfrac{4 \times 3 }{2 \times 1}\right)\right] + \left[6 \times 4 \right] \\
= 15 + 80 + 90 + 24\\
= 209
\end{aligned}
3. A box contains 4 red, 3 white and 2 blue balls. Three balls are drawn at random. Find out the number of ways of selecting the balls of different colours
- 12
- 24
- 48
- 168
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
This question seems to be a bit typical, isn't, but it is simplest.
1 red ball can be selected in 4C1 ways
1 white ball can be selected in 3C1 ways
1 blue ball can be selected in 2C1 ways
Total number of ways
= 4C1 x 3C1 x 2C1
= 4 x 3 x 2
= 24
Please note that we have multiplied the combination results, we use to add when their is OR condition, and we use to multiply when there is AND condition, In this question it is AND as
1 red AND 1 White AND 1 Blue, so we multiplied.
4. Evaluate permutation equation
\begin{aligned} ^{75}{P}_2\end{aligned}
- 5200
- 5300
- 5450
- 5550
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
\begin{aligned}
^n{P}_r = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!} \\
^{75}{P}_2 = \frac{75!}{(75-2)!} \\
= \frac{75*74*73!}{(73)!} \\
= 5550
\end{aligned}
5. Evaluate permutation
\begin{aligned}
^5{P}_5
\end{aligned}
- 120
- 110
- 98
- 24
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
\begin{aligned}
^n{P}_n = n! \\
^5{P}_5 = 5*4*3*2*1 \\
= 120
\end{aligned}
