Question Detail

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

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}

1. 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}

2. In how many ways can the letters of the CHEATER be arranged

20160
2520
360
80

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

As we can see the letter "E" is twice in given word, so Required Number
\begin{aligned}
= \frac{7!}{2!} \\
= \frac{7*6*5*4*3*2!}{2!} \\
= 2520
\end{aligned}

3. In how many way the letter of the word "APPLE" can be arranged

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Friends the main point to note in this question is letter "P" is written twice in the word.
Easy way to solve this type of permutation question is as,

So word APPLE contains 1A, 2P, 1L and 1E
Required number =
\begin{aligned}
= \frac{5!}{1!*2!*1!*1!} \\
= \frac{5*4*3*2!}{2!} \\
= 60
\end{aligned}

4. In how many words can be formed by using all letters of the word BHOPAL

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Required number
\begin{aligned}
= 6! \\
= 6*5*4*3*2*1 \\
= 720
\end{aligned}

5. Evaluate combination
\begin{aligned}
^{100}{C}_{97} = \frac{100!}{(97)!(3)!} \\
\end{aligned}

161700
151700
141700
131700

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
^{n}{C}_r = \frac{n!}{(r)!(n-r)!} \\
^{100}{C}_{97} = \frac{100!}{(97)!(3)!} \\
= \frac{100*99*98*97!}{(97)!(3)!} \\
= \frac{100*99*98}{3*2*1} \\
= \frac{100*99*98}{3*2*1} \\
= 161700
\end{aligned}
