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}

1. Evaluate permutation equation
\begin{aligned} ^{59}{P}_3 \end{aligned}

195052
195053
195054
185054

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
^n{P}_r = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!} \\
^{59}{P}_3 = \frac{59!}{(56)!} \\
= \frac{59 * 58 * 57 * 56!}{(56)!} \\
= 195054
\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. 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}

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. 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}
