Question 32 Marks
There are 10 persons named $P _1, P _2, P _3, \ldots, P _{10}$. Out of 10 persons, 5 persons are to be arranged in a line such that in each arrangement $P_1$ must occur whereas $P_4$ and $P_5$ do not occur. Find the number of such possible arrangements.
Answer
Total persons $=10$ Number of persons to be selected $=5$ Condition $= P _1$ must and $P _4, P _5$ must not be there.
Remaining number of person required is 4 out of $10-3=7={ }^7 C _4 \times 5$ !

From a group of 15 cricket players, a team of 11 players is to be chosen. In how many ways can this be done?
Answer
Required number of ways $={^\text{15}\text{C}}_{11}$ Now, $\Rightarrow {^\text{15}\text{C}}_{11}={^\text{15}\text{C}}_{4}$ $=\frac{15}{4}\times\frac{14}{3}\times\frac{13}{2}\times\frac{12}{1}\times{^\text{11}}\text{C}_{0}$ $=1365$

Question 62 Marks
How many words, with or without meaning can be formed from the letters of the word 'MONDAY', assuming that no letter is repeated, if:
  1. 4 letters are used at a time.
  2. All letters are used at a time.
  3. All letters are used but first letter is a vowel?
Answer
  1. Total number of 4 letter words formed from the letters of the word 'MONDAY' is $={^\text{6}}\text{C}_{\text{4}}\times4!=360$
  2. Total number of words formed by using all letters of the word 'MONDAY' is $=6!=720$
  3. There are two vowel A and O. So, first place can be filled in 2 ways and the remaining 5 places can be filled in 5! ways.
So, tatal number of words beginning with a vowel $=2\times5!=240$

Answer
The we can multiplying 2 or 3 or 4 digits. Then number of ways of multiplying 4 digits at a time $={^\text{4}}\text{C}_{4}\ ....(\text{i})$ Then number of ways of multiplying 4 digits at a time $={^\text{4}}\text{C}_{3}\ ....(\text{ii})$ Then number of ways of multiplying 4 digits at a time $={^\text{4}}\text{C}_{2}\ ....(\text{iii})$ Total number of ways $={^\text{4}}\text{C}_{4}+{^\text{4}}\text{C}_{2}+{^\text{4}}\text{C}_{3}$ $=1+\frac{4\times3}{2}+4$ $=11$
