Solution:
In each stall any one of the three animals can be shipped. So total number of ways of loading $= 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times … \times 12$ times $= 3^{12}$

Question 21 Mark
State True or False for the following statement:
Eighteen guests are to be seated, half on each side of a long table. Four particular guests desire to sit on one particular side and three others on other side of the table.
The number of ways in which the seating arrangements can be made is $\frac{11!}{5!6!}(9!)(9!) .$
Answer
True.Solution:
Let two sides of the table be $A$ ans $B$ each having $9$ seats. Let on side $A,$ four particular guests and on side $B,$ three particular seated. Now for side $A,$ five more guests can be selected from remaining eleven guests in $^{11}C_5$ ways. Also on each side nine guests can be arranged in 9! ways. So total number of ways of arrangement $=\ ^{11}\text{C}_5​​\times\ 9!\times9!​​=\frac{11!}{5!\ 6!}(9!)(9!)$

Question 31 Mark
State True or False for the following statement:
There are $12$ points in a plane of which $5$ points are collinear, then the number of lines obtained by joining these points in pairs is $^{12}C_2 –\ ^5C_2 .$
Answer
False.Solution:
Required number of lines $=\ ^{12}C_2 –\ ^5C_2 + 1$ Hence, the given statement is ‘False’

Question 41 Mark
State True or False for the following statement:
To fill $12$ vacancies there are $25$ candidates of which $5$ are from scheduled castes. If $3$ of the vacancies are reserved for scheduled caste candidates while the rest are open to all, the number of ways in which the selection can be made is $^5C_3 \times\ ^{20}C_9 .$
In each if the Exercises from $60$ to $64$ match each item given under the column $C_1$ to its correct answer given under the column $C_2 .$
Answer
False.
Solution:
Number of whay to select $3$ scheduled caste candidates out of $5 =\ ^5C_3$ 
We have to select $9$ other candidates out of $22$.
So, the no of whay $=\ ^{22}C_9$ 
Required number of selection $= ^5C_3 \times \ ^{22}C_9 $
Hence, the given statement is false.

Question 51 Mark
State True or False for the following statement:
Three letters can be posted in five letterboxes in $35$ ways.
Answer
False.
Solution:
Given that $3$ letters are to be posted in $5$ letter boxes.
$\therefore$ Required number of ways $= 5^3 = 125$
 Hence, the given statements is ‘False’.

Question 61 Mark
State True or False for the following statement:
If some or all of n objects are taken at a time, the number of combinations is $2^{n–1}.$
Answer
True.Solution:
When some or all objects, taken at a time, then the number of selection will be, $^nC_1 +\ ^nC_2 +\ ^nC_3 + … +\ ^nC_n = 2^{n – 1}[ \because\  ^nC_0 +\ ^nC_1 +\ ^nC_2 + … +\ ^nC_n = 2n]$
Hence, the given statement is ‘True’.

Question 71 Mark
State True or False for the following statement:
In the permutations of n things, r taken together, the number of permutations in which m particular things occur together is
$ ^{n–m}P_{r–m} \times\ ^rP_m .$
Answer
False.
Solution:
Arrangement of n things, taken r at a time in which m things occur together first we select $(r - m)$ objects $(n - m)$ object in $^{n - m}C_{r - m}$ ways.
Now we consider there m things as $1$ group.
Number of objects excluding these m objects $= (r - m)$
Now fast we have to arrange $(r - m + 1)$ objects.
Number of arrengement $= (r - m + 1)!$
Also m objects which we considered as $1$ geoup, can be arranged in m! ways.
 $\therefore$ Required number of arrangement $=\ ^{n - m}C_{r - m} \times (r - m + 1)! \times m!$

Question 81 Mark
State True or False for the following statement:
There will be only 24 selections containing at least one red ball out of a bag containing 4 red and 5 black balls. It is being given that the balls of the same colour are identical.
Answer
FalseSolution:
Number of ways of selecting any number of objects from given n identical objects is 1. Now selecting zero or more red ball from 4 identical red balls = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 5 Selecting at least 1 black ball from 5 identical black balls =1 + T + 1 + 1 + 1= 5 So, total number of ways = 5 × 5 = 25

Question 91 Mark
State True or False for the following statement:A candidate is required to answer 7 questions out of 12 questions which are divided into two groups, each containing 6 questions. He is not permitted to attempt more than 5 questions from either group. He can choose the seven questions in 650 ways.
Answer
False.
Solution:
A candidate can attempt questions in following maimer
Group A
2
3
4
5
Group B
5
4
3
2
So, the Number of attempts of 7 question
$=\ ^6\text{C}_2\times\ ^6\text{C}_5+\ 6\text{C}_3\times\ ^6\text{C}_4+\ ^6\text{C}_4+\ ^6\text{C}_3+\ ^6\text{C}_5\times\ ^6\text{C}_2$
$=2[\ ^6\text{C}_2\times\ ^6\text{C}_5+\ ^6\text{C}_3\times\ ^6\text{C}_4$
$=2[15\times6+20\times15]=2[90+300]=2\times390=780$
