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

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

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

First thing to understand in this question is that it is a permutation question.
Total number of words = 5
Required number =
\begin{aligned}
^5{P}_5 = 5! \\
= 5*4*3*2*1 = 120
\end{aligned}

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

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}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

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