Question 12 Marks
Convert the following products into factorials:
1.3.5.7.9....(2n - 1)
Answer
We have,
$1 \times 3 \times 5 \times 7 \times 9 \times.........(2\text{n} - 1)$
$=\frac{\big[1.3.5.7.9.....(2\text{n}-1)\big].\big[2.4.6.8.....(2\text{n}-2)(2\text{n})\big]}{2.4.6.8.....(2\text{n}-2)(2\text{n})}$
$=\frac{\big[1.3.5.7.9.....(2\text{n}-1)\big].\big[2.4.6.8.....(2\text{n}-2)(2\text{n})\big]}{2^\text{n}\big[1.2.3.4.......((\text{n-1})(\text{n}))\big]}$
$=\frac{1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.......(2\text{n-2})(2\text{n-1})(2\text{n})}{2^\text{n}.\text{n}!}$
$=\frac{(2\text{n})!}{2^\text{n}.!}$
$\therefore 1.3.5.7.9......(2\text{n}-1)=\frac{(2\text{n})!}{2^\text{n}.\text{n!}}$

Question 22 Marks
Given 7 flags of different colours, how many different signals can be generated if a signal requires the use of two flags, one below the other?
Answer
Since there are 7 flags of different colours, therefore, first flag can be selected in 7 ways.
Now, the second flag can be selected from any one of the remaining flags in 6 ways.
Hence, by the fundamental principle of multiplication, the number of flag is 7 × 6 = 42

Question 32 Marks
Find the number of different 4-letter words, with or without meanings, that can be formed from the letters of the word 'NUMBER'.
Answer
Total number of letters = 6 $\therefore$ Total number of words = Number of arrangements of6 letters, taken 4 at a time $=\ ^{6}\text{P}_4$$=\frac{6!}{(6-4)!}$
$=\frac{6!}{2!}$
$=\frac{6\times5\times4\times3\times2\times1}{2!}$

Question 82 Marks
Serial numbers for an item produced in a factory are to be made using two letters followed by four digits (0 to 9). If the letters are to be taken from six letters of English alphabet without repetition and the digits are also not repeated in a serial number, how many serial numbers are possible?
Answer
Each serial number of the product consists of six components. First two are letters and remaining four are numbers. So all the serial numbers will look as shown below.
L

For the first position of serial number we can have one of the 6 letters. As repetition is not allowed first position of serial number we can have one of the 5 letters. For the third position of serial number we can have one of the 10 numbers. Similarly for the remaining position we can have 9, 8 and 7 possible ways.

Question 102 Marks
How many three-digit numbers are there with no digit repeated?
Answer
We have to form all possible 3 digit numbers with distinct digits.we cannot have 0 at the hundred's place. so, the hundred's place can be filled with any of the 9 digits 1, 2, 3, 4 .... , 9.
so, there are 9 ways of filling the hundred's place.
Now, 9 digits are left including 0, so, ten's place can be filled with any of the remaining 9 digits in 9 ways. now, the unit's place can be filled which in any of the remaining 8 digits. so, th ere are 8 ways of filling the unit's place.
Hence, the total number of required numbers = 9 × 9 × 8 = 648

Question 162 Marks
How many 9-digit numbers of different digits can be formed?
Answer
In a nine-digit number 0 cannot appear in the first digit. So, the number of ways of filling up the first digit = 9.
Now, 9 digits are left including 0. So, second digit can be filled with any of the remaining 9 digits in 9 ways.
Similarly, remaining digits can be filled in 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 and 2 ways.
Hence, the total number of required numbers
= 9 × 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2

Find the total number of ways in which $20$ balls can be put into $5$ boxes so that first box contains just one ball.
Answer
Total numbers of balls $= 20$
Total number of boxes $= 5$
One ball can be put in first box in $20$ ways because we can put any one of the twenty balls in first box.
Now, remaining $19$ balls are to be but into remaining $4$ boxes.
This can be done in $4^{19} $ ways; because there are $4$ choices for each ball

How many three-digit numbers are there, with no digit repeated?
Answer
Total number of digits = 10
Total number of 3 digit numbers $= \ ^{10}\text{P}_3 $
But these arrangements also indude those numbers which have O at hundred's place. such numbers are not 3-digit numbers.
When 0 is fixed at hundred's place, we have to arrange remaining 9 digits by taking 2 at a time.
The number of such arrangements is $= \ ^9\text{P}_3$
So, the total of numbers having O at hundred's place $= \ ^9\text{P}_2$
Hence, total number of 3 digit numbers which distinct $= \ ^{10}\text{P}_3 - ^{9}\text{P}_2 $
$=\frac{10!}{(10-3)!}-\frac{9!}{(9-2)!}$
$=\frac{10!}{7!}-\frac{9!}{7!}$

Question 492 Marks
If $(n + 1)! = 90 [(n - 1)!],$ find $n.$
Answer
We have,$(n + 1)! = 90 [(n - 1)!]$
$\Rightarrow (n + 1)! \times n \times (n - 1)! = 90 [(n - 1)!] $
$\Rightarrow n (n + 1) = 90 $
$\Rightarrow n^2 + 10n - 9n - 90 = 0 $
$\Rightarrow n^2 (n + 10) - 9 (n + 10) = 0$
$ \Rightarrow (n^2- 9) (n + 10) = 0$
$\big[\therefore \text{n} +10 \neq 0\big]$
$\Rightarrow n - 9 = 0 $
$\Rightarrow n = 9$
Hence, $n = 9$
