1. 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 :

2. In how many ways can the letters of the word "CORPORATION" be arranged so that vowels always come together.

5760
50400
2880
None of above

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Vowels in the word "CORPORATION" are O,O,A,I,O
Lets make it as CRPRTN(OOAIO)

This has 7 lettes, where R is twice so value = 7!/2!
= 2520

Vowel O is 3 times, so vowels can be arranged = 5!/3!

= 20

Total number of words = 2520 * 20 = 50400

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

5. 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.
