^5{P}_5
\end{aligned}
- 120
- 110
- 98
- 24
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
\begin{aligned}
^n{P}_n = n! \\
^5{P}_5 = 5*4*3*2*1 \\
= 120
\end{aligned}
1. From a group of 7 men and 6 women, five persons are to be selected to form a committee so that at least 3 men are there on the committee. In how many ways can it be done
- 456
- 556
- 656
- 756
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
From a group of 7 men and 6 women, five persons are to be selected with at least 3 men.
So we can have
(5 men) or (4 men and 1 woman) or (3 men and 2 woman)
\begin{aligned}
(^{5}{C}_{5}) + (^{5}{C}_{4} * ^{6}{C}_{1}) + \\
+ (^{5}{C}_{3} * ^{6}{C}_{2}) \\
= \left[\dfrac{7 \times 6 }{2 \times 1}\right] + \left[\left( \dfrac{7 \times 6 \times 5}{3 \times 2 \times 1} \right) \times 6 \right] + \\ \left[\left( \dfrac{7 \times 6 \times 5}{3 \times 2 \times 1} \right) \times \left( \dfrac{6 \times 5}{2 \times 1} \right) \right] \\
= 21 + 210 + 525 = 756
\end{aligned}
2. How many words can be formed from the letters of the word "SIGNATURE" so that vowels always come together.
- 17280
- 4320
- 720
- 80
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
word SIGNATURE contains total 9 letters.
There are four vowels in this word, I, A, U and E
Make it as, SGNTR(IAUE), consider all vowels as 1 letter for now
So total letter are 6.
6 letters can be arranged in 6! ways = 720 ways
Vowels can be arranged in themselves in 4! ways = 24 ways
Required number of ways = 720*24 = 17280
3. In how many way the letter of the word "RUMOUR" can be arranged
- 2520
- 480
- 360
- 180
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
In above word, there are 2 "R" and 2 "U"
So Required number will be
\begin{aligned}
= \frac{6!}{2!*2!} \\
= \frac{6*5*4*3*2*1}{4} \\
= 180
\end{aligned}
4. Evaluate permutation
\begin{aligned}
^5{P}_5
\end{aligned}
- 120
- 110
- 98
- 24
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
\begin{aligned}
^n{P}_n = n! \\
^5{P}_5 = 5*4*3*2*1 \\
= 120
\end{aligned}
5. A box contains 4 red, 3 white and 2 blue balls. Three balls are drawn at random. Find out the number of ways of selecting the balls of different colours
- 12
- 24
- 48
- 168
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
This question seems to be a bit typical, isn't, but it is simplest.
1 red ball can be selected in 4C1 ways
1 white ball can be selected in 3C1 ways
1 blue ball can be selected in 2C1 ways
Total number of ways
= 4C1 x 3C1 x 2C1
= 4 x 3 x 2
= 24
Please note that we have multiplied the combination results, we use to add when their is OR condition, and we use to multiply when there is AND condition, In this question it is AND as
1 red AND 1 White AND 1 Blue, so we multiplied.
