Question Detail

Evaluate permutation
\begin{aligned}
^5{P}_5
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
^n{P}_n = n! \\
^5{P}_5 = 5*4*3*2*1 \\
= 120

\end{aligned}

1. How many words can be formed by using all letters of TIHAR

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

First thing to understand in this question is that it is a permutation question.
Total number of words = 5
Required number =
\begin{aligned}
^5{P}_5 = 5! \\
= 5*4*3*2*1 = 120
\end{aligned}

2. Evaluate \begin{aligned}
\frac{30!}{28!}
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
= \frac{30!}{28!} \\
= \frac{30 * 29 * 28!}{28!} \\
= 30 * 29 = 870
\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

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 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}

5. How many words can be formed from the letters of the word "SIGNATURE" so that vowels always come together.

17280
4320
720
80

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

word SIGNATURE contains total 9 letters.
There are four vowels in this word, I, A, U and E

Make it as, SGNTR(IAUE), consider all vowels as 1 letter for now
So total letter are 6.
6 letters can be arranged in 6! ways = 720 ways
Vowels can be arranged in themselves in 4! ways = 24 ways

Required number of ways = 720*24 = 17280
