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 $=\ ^{6}\text{P}_4$

$=\frac{6!}{(6-4)!}$

$=\frac{6!}{2!}$

$=\frac{6\times5\times4\times3\times2\times1}{2!}$

$=360$

Hence, the total number of 4 letter words are 360.

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

L

N

N

N

N

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.

L	L	N	N	N	N
$\Uparrow$	$\Uparrow$	$\Uparrow$	$\Uparrow$	$\Uparrow$	$\Uparrow$
6	5	10	9	8	7

So the required number of serial number is 6 × 5 × 10 × 9 × 8 × 7.

Question 132 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

Answer

Since the required num bars are greater than 5000.
$\therefore$ the thousand's place can be filled with any of two digits 5 or 9.
So, there are 2 ways of filling the thousand's place.
Since repetition of digits is not allowed, so the hundred's ten's and one's places can be filled in 4, 3 and 2 ways respectively.
Hence, the required number of num bers = 2 × 4 × 3 × 2 = 49

Question 482 Marks

In how many ways can the letters of the word 'FAILURE' be arranged so that the consonants may occupy only odd positions?

Answer

There are 4 vowels and 3 consonants in the word 'FAILURE'.
We have to arrange 7 letters in a row such that consonants occupy odd places. There are 4 odd places (1, 3, 5, 7). There consonants can be arranged in these 4 odd places in ⁴P₃ ways.
Remaining 3 even places (2, 4, 6) are to be occupied by the 4 vowels. This can be done in ⁴P₃ ways.
Hence, the total number of words in which consonants occupy odd places $= \ ^4\text{P}_3 \times\ ^4\text{P}_3$
$= \frac{4!}{(4-3)!} \times \frac{4!}{(4-3)!}$
$= 4\times3\times 2\times 1\times 4\times3\times 2\times 1$
$=24\times24$
$=576$

Question 492 Marks

Find x in the following.
$\frac{1}{4!}+\frac{1}{5!}=\frac{\text{x}}{6!}$

Answer

We have,
$\frac{1}{4!}+\frac{1}{5!}=\frac{\text{x}}{6!}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{4!}+\frac{1}{4\times5!}=\frac{\text{x}}{6\times5\times4!}$
$\Rightarrow4!\times\bigg[\frac{1}{4!}+\frac{1}{5\times4!}\bigg]=\frac{\text{x}}{30}$
$\Rightarrow1+\frac{1}{58}=\frac{\text{x}}{30}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{6}{5}=\frac{\text{x}}{30}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{x}}{30}=\frac{6}{5}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{6\times30}{5}$
$\Rightarrow6\times6$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}= 36$
Hence, $\text{x}= 36$

Question 502 Marks

A team consists of 6 boys and 4 girls and other has 5 boys and 3 girls. How many single matches can be arranged between the two teams when a boy plays against a boy and a girl plays against a girl?

Answer

A boy can be selected from the first team in 6 ways, and from the second in 5 ways.
so, number of single matches between the boys of two teams = 6 × 5 = 30.
similarly, the number of single matches between the girls of two teams = 4 × 3 = 12.
so, total number of matches = 30 + 12 = 42.
