Question Detail

In a Cricket cup total 153 matches were played and every two teams played exactly one match with each other. So what were the total number of teams participating in Cricket Cup ?

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Lets suppose there were x number os team in cricket cup then from the given statement we can calculate :
\begin{aligned}
=> ^n C _2 = 153 \\
\text{ it given n = 18 and n = -17} \\
\end{aligned}
As answer cannot be negative to 18 is the answer

1. In how many words can be formed by using all letters of the word BHOPAL

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Required number
\begin{aligned}
= 6! \\
= 6*5*4*3*2*1 \\
= 720
\end{aligned}

2. 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}

3. How many words can be formed from the letters of the word "AFTER", so that the vowels never comes together.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

We need to find the ways that vowels NEVER come together.
Vowels are A, E
Let the word be FTR(AE) having 4 words.
Total ways = 4! = 24
Vowels can have total ways 2! = 2
Number of ways having vowel together = 48
Total number of words using all letter = 5! = 120

Number of words having vowels never together = 120-48
= 72

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. A bag contains 2 white balls, 3 black balls and 4 red balls. In how many ways can 3 balls be drawn from the bag, if at least one black ball is to be included in the draw

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

From 2 white balls, 3 black balls and 4 red balls, 3 balls are to be selected such that
at least one black ball should be there.

Hence we have 3 choices
All three are black
Two are black and one is non black
One is black and two are non black
Total number of ways
= 3C3 + (3C2 x 6C1) + (3C1 x 6C2) [because 6 are non black]

\begin{aligned}
= 1 + \left[3 \times 6 \right] + \left[3 \times \left(\dfrac{6 \times 5}{2 \times 1}\right) \right]
= 1 + 18 + 45
= 64
\end{aligned}
