MCQ 11 Mark
Total number of words formed by $2$ vowels and $3$ consonants taken from $4$ vowels and $5$ consonants is equal to.
  • A
    $60$
  • B
    $120$
  • $7200$
  • D
    $72$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$7200$
Given that total number of vowels $= 4$
and number of consonants $= 5$
The total of words formed by $2$ vowels and $3$ consonents
$=\ ^4\text{C}_2\times\ ^5\text{C}_3$
$=\frac{4!}{2!\ 2!}\times\frac{5!}{3!\ 2!}$
$=\frac{4\times3\times2!}{2\times1\times2!}\times\frac{5\times4\times3!}{3!\times2}$
Now permutation of $2$ vowels and $3$ consonants $= 5! = 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 120$
So, the total number of words $= 60 \times 120 = 7200.$

The number of $5-$digit telephone numbers having atleast one of their digits repeated is.
  • A
    $90,000$
  • B
    $10,000$
  • C
    $30,240$
  • $69,760$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$69,760$
Total number of telephone numbers when there is no restriction $= 10^{5 }$
Also number of telephone numbers having all digits different $=\  ^{l0}P_{5 }$
Required number of ways $= 10^5 – ^{10}P_5 $
$= 1000000 – 10 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7 \times 6 $
$= 1000000 - 30240 $
$= 69760$

MCQ 31 Mark
The number of ways in which we can choose a committee from four men and six women so that the committee includes at least two men and exactly twice as many women as men is.
  • $94$
  • B
    $126$
  • C
    $128$
  • D
    None
Answer
Correct option: A.
$94$
Number of men $= 4$
Number of women $= 6$
We are given that the committee includes $2$ men and exactly twice as many women as men.
Thus$,$ the possible selection can be $2$ men and $4$ women and $3$ men and $6$ women
So$,$ the number of committee $= \ ^4C_2 \times \ ^6C_4 + \ ^4C_3 \times \ ^6C_6 = 6 \times 15 + 4 1 = 90 + 4 = 94$

The number of triangles that are formed by choosing the vertices from a set of $12$ points$,$ seven of which lie on the same line is.
  • A
    $105$
  • B
    $15$
  • C
    $175$
  • $185$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$185$
Total number of triangle formed from $12$ points taking $3$ at a time $= \ ^{12}C_3$
But given that out of $12$ points $7$ are collinear. So$,$ these seven points will form no triangle.
$\therefore$ The required number of triangles $= \ ^{12}C_3 – \ ^7C_3$
$=\frac{12!}{3!\ 9!}-\frac{7!}{3!\ 4!}$
$=\frac{12\times11\times10\times9}{3\times2\times1\times9!}-\frac{7\times6\times5\times4!}{3\times2\times1\times4!}$
$=\frac{12\times11\times10}{3\times2}-\frac{7\times6\times5}{3\times2}$
$=220-35$
$=185$

MCQ 51 Mark
The number of words which can be formed out of the letters of the word $\text{ARTICLE,}$ so that vowels occupy the even place is.
  • A
    $1440$
  • $144$
  • C
    $7!$
  • D
    $\ ^4C_4 \times \ ^3C_3$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$144$
Total number of letters in the $‘\text{ARTICLE ’}$ is $7$ out which $\text{A, E, I}$ are vowels and $\text{R, T, C, L}$ are consonants
Given that vowels occupy even place
$\therefore$ Possible arrangement can be shown as below
$\text{C, V, C, V, C, V, C}$ i.e. on $2^{nd}, 4^{th}$ and $6^{th}$ places
Therefore, number of arrangement $= ^3P_3 = 3! = 6$ ways
Now consonants can be placed at $1, 3, 5$ and $7^{th}$ place
$\therefore$ Number of arrangement $= \ ^4P_4 = 4! = 24$
So$,$ the total number of arrangements $= 6 \times 24 = 144$

MCQ 61 Mark
If $^nC_{12}=^nC_8 ,$ then n is equal to.
  • $20$
  • B
    $12$
  • C
    $6$
  • D
    $30$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$20$
Give that $^\text{n}\text{C}_{12}=\ ^\text{n}\text{C}_8[\because\ ^\text{n}\text{C}_\text{r}=\ ^\text{n}\text{C}_\text{n-r}]$
$^\text{n}\text{C}_{12}=\ ^\text{n}\text{C}_\text{n-8}$
$\therefore\text{n}-8=12$
$\Rightarrow\text{n}=12+8$
$=20$

MCQ 71 Mark
Given $5$ different green dyes, four different blue dyes and three different red dyes$,$ the number of combinations of dyes which can be chosen taking at least one green and one blue dye is.
$[$Hint: Possible numbers of choosing or not choosing $5$ green dyes$, 4$ blue dyes and $3$ red dyes are $2^5, 2^4$ and $2^3 ,$ respectively$.]$
  • A
    $3600$
  • $3720$
  • C
    $3800$
  • D
    $3600$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$3720$
At least one green dye can be chosen in $^5\text{C}_1+\ ^5\text{C}_2\ +\ ^5\text{C}_3+\ ^5\text{C}_4+\ ^5\text{C}_5=22^5-1$ ways.
At least one blue dye can be chosen in $^4\text{C}_1+\ ^4\text{C}_2\ +\ ^4\text{C}_3+\ ^4\text{C}_4=2^4-1$ ways.
Any number of red dyes can be chosen in $^3\text{C}_0+\ ^3\text{C}_1\ +\ ^3\text{C}_2+\ ^3\text{C}_3=2^3$ ways.
so$,$ total nnumber of required selection $=(2^5-1)\times(2^4-1)\times2^3=3720$

MCQ 81 Mark
A five digit number divisible by $3$ is to be formed using the numbers $0, 1, 2, 3, 4$ and $5$ without repetitions. The total number of ways this can be done is.
$[$Hint: $5$ digit numbers can be formed using digits $0, 1, 2, 4, 5$ or by using digits $1, 2, 3, 4, 5$ since sum of digits in these cases is divisible by $3.]$
  • $216$
  • B
    $600$
  • C
    $240$
  • D
    $3125$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$216$
We know that a number is divisible by $3$ if the sum of its digits is divisible by $3.$
Now sum of the given six digits is $15$ which is divisible by $3.$
So to form a number of five$-$digit which is divisible by $3$ we can remove either $'O\ '$ or $'3\ '$. If digits $1, 2, 3, 4, 5$ are used then number of required numbers $= 5!$
If digits $0, 1, 2, 4, 5$ are used then first place from left can be filled in $4$ ways and remaining $4$ places can be filled in $4!$ ways.
So in this case required numbers are $4 \times 4!$ ways.
So, total number of numbers $= 120 + 96 = 216$

MCQ 111 Mark
The number of ways in which a team of eleven players can be selected from $22$ players always including $2$ of them and excluding $4$ of them is.
  • A
    $^{16}C_{11}$
  • B
    $^{16}C_5$
  • $^{16}C_9$
  • D
    $^{20}C_9$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$^{16}C_9$
Total number of players $= 22$
$2$ players are always included and $4$ are always excluding or never included $= 22 – 2 – 4 = 16$
$\therefore$ Required number of selection $= \ ^{16}C_9$

MCQ 121 Mark
The total number of $9$ digit numbers which have all different digits is.
  • A
    $10!$
  • B
    $9 !$
  • $9 \times 9!$
  • D
    $10\times 10!$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$9 \times 9!$
We have to form $9-$ digit number which has all different digit.
First digit from the left can be filled in $9$ ways $($excluding $'\ 0\ ’).$
Now nine digits are left including $'\ O\ ’.$
So remaining eight places can be filled with these nine digits in $\ ^9P_S$ ways.
So$,$ total number of numbers $= 9 \times \ ^9P_8 = 9 \times 9!$

MCQ 131 Mark
The sum of the digits in unit place of all the numbers formed with the help of $3, 4, 5$ and $6$ taken all at a time is.
  • A
    $432$
  • $108$
  • C
    $36$
  • D
    $18$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$108$
If the unit place is $'3\ '$ then remaining three places can be filled in $3!$ ways.
Thus $'3\ '$ appears in unit place in $3!$ times.
Similarly each digit appear in unit place $3!$ times.
So, sum of digits in unit place $= 3! (3 + 4 + 5 + 6) = 18 \times 6 = 108$

MCQ 141 Mark
Every body in a room shakes hands with everybody else. The total number of hand shakes is $66.$ The total number of persons in the room is.
  • A
    $11$
  • $12$
  • C
    $13$
  • D
    $14$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$12$
Between any two person there is one hand shake.
So, number of hand shakes $=\ ^\text{n}\text{C}_2=\frac{\text{n!}}{2!(\text{n}-2)!}=\frac{\text{n}(\text{n}-1)}{2}=66($given$)$
$\Rightarrow\text{n}(\text{n}-1)=132$ 
$\Rightarrow\text{n}^2-\text{n}-132=0$ 
$\Rightarrow(\text{n}-12)(\text{n}=11)=0$
$\therefore\text{n}=12$
