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. Evaluate \begin{aligned}
\frac{30!}{28!}
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
= \frac{30!}{28!} \\
= \frac{30 * 29 * 28!}{28!} \\
= 30 * 29 = 870
\end{aligned}

2. Evaluate permutation
\begin{aligned}
^5{P}_5
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
^n{P}_n = n! \\
^5{P}_5 = 5*4*3*2*1 \\
= 120

\end{aligned}

3. How many words can be formed from the letters of the word "AFTER", so that the vowels never comes together.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

We need to find the ways that vowels NEVER come together.
Vowels are A, E
Let the word be FTR(AE) having 4 words.
Total ways = 4! = 24
Vowels can have total ways 2! = 2
Number of ways having vowel together = 48
Total number of words using all letter = 5! = 120

Number of words having vowels never together = 120-48
= 72

4. In how many ways can the letters of the word "CORPORATION" be arranged so that vowels always come together.

5760
50400
2880
None of above

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Vowels in the word "CORPORATION" are O,O,A,I,O
Lets make it as CRPRTN(OOAIO)

This has 7 lettes, where R is twice so value = 7!/2!
= 2520

Vowel O is 3 times, so vowels can be arranged = 5!/3!

= 20

Total number of words = 2520 * 20 = 50400

5. 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}
