Question Detail

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

1. 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}

2. In a Cricket cup total 153 matches were played and every two teams played exactly one match with each other. So what were the total number of teams participating in Cricket Cup ?

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Lets suppose there were x number os team in cricket cup then from the given statement we can calculate :
\begin{aligned}
=> ^n C _2 = 153 \\
\text{ it given n = 18 and n = -17} \\
\end{aligned}
As answer cannot be negative to 18 is the answer

3. 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}

4. Evaluate combination
\begin{aligned}
^{100}{C}_{100}
\end{aligned}

10000
1000
10
1

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
^{n}{C}_{n} = 1 \\
^{100}{C}_{100} = 1
\end{aligned}

5. In a group of 6 boys and 4 girls, four children are to be selected. In how many different ways can they be selected such that at least one boy should be there

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

In a group of 6 boys and 4 girls, four children are to be selected such that
at least one boy should be there.
So we can have

(four boys) or (three boys and one girl) or (two boys and two girls) or (one boy and three gils)

This combination question can be solved as

\begin{aligned}
(^{6}{C}_{4}) + (^{6}{C}_{3} * ^{4}{C}_{1}) + \\
+ (^{6}{C}_{2} * ^{4}{C}_{2}) + (^{6}{C}_{1} * ^{4}{C}_{3}) \\

= \left[\dfrac{6 \times 5 }{2 \times 1}\right] + \left[\left(\dfrac{6 \times 5 \times 4 }{3 \times 2 \times 1}\right) \times 4\right] + \\\left[\left(\dfrac{6 \times 5 }{2 \times 1}\right)\left(\dfrac{4 \times 3 }{2 \times 1}\right)\right] + \left[6 \times 4 \right] \\
= 15 + 80 + 90 + 24\\
= 209
\end{aligned}
