${ }^{15} C_r$ and ${ }^{11} C_r$
${ }^{13} C _{ r }$ and ${ }^8 C _{ r }$
${ }^{14} C_r$ and ${ }^{12} C_r$
${ }^n P_r=720$ and ${ }^n C_{n-r}=120$
$\begin{array}{ll}\therefore & r !=6 \\ \therefore & r=3\end{array}$
Substituting $r=3$ in (i), we get
$\begin{array}{ll} & \frac{n !}{(n-3) !}=720 \\ \therefore \quad & \frac{n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3) !}{(n-3) !}=720 \\ \therefore \quad & n(n-1)(n-2)=10 \times 9 \times 8 \\ \therefore \quad & n=10\end{array}$
$\therefore$ Required number of numbers formed $=\frac{6 !}{2 !}$
$=\frac{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 !}{2 !}$
= 360 A 6-digit number is to be formed using the same digits that are divisible by 4. For a number to be divisible by 4, the last two digits should be divisible by 4, i.e. 24, 52, 56, 64, 92 or 96. Case I: When the last two digits are 24, 52, 56 or 64. As the digit 9 repeats twice in the remaining four numbers, the number of arrangements =
$\frac{4 !}{2 !}=12$
∴ 6-digit numbers that are divisible by 4 so formed are 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 = 48. Case II: When the last two digits are 92 or 96. As each of the remaining four numbers are distinct, the number of arrangements = 4! = 24 ∴ 6-digit numbers that are divisible by 4 so formed are 24 + 24 = 48. ∴ Required number of numbers framed = 48 + 48 = 96
(II)2 books are always together
(III)2 books are never together
II. 2 books are together. Let us consider two books as one unit. This unit with the other 3 books can be arranged in${ }^4 P_4=4 !=24$ ways.
Also, two books can be arranged among themselves in ${ }^2 P _2=2$ ways.
∴ Required number of arrangements = 24 × 2 = 48
III. Say books are $B_1, B_2, B_3, B_4, B_5$ are to be arranged with $B_1, B_2$ never together.
$B_3, B_4, B_5$ can be arranged among themselves in ${ }^3 P_3=3 !=6$ ways.
$B_3, B_4, B_5$ create 4 gaps in which $B_1, B_2$ are arranged in ${ }^4 P_2=4 \times 3=12$ ways.
∴ Required number of arrangements = 6 × 12 = 72
$\frac{n^2-9}{(n+3) !}+\frac{6}{(n+2) !}-\frac{1}{(n+1) !}$
$\frac{(2 n) !}{7 !(2 n-7) !}: \frac{n !}{4 !(n-4) !}=24: 1$
$\frac{n !}{3 !(n-3) !}: \frac{n !}{5 !(n-7) !}=1: 6$
