Question Detail

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}

1. 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

2. 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}

3. 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

4. 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}

5. 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}
