Question Detail

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}

1. Evaluate permutation equation
\begin{aligned} ^{75}{P}_2\end{aligned}

5200
5300
5450
5550

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
^n{P}_r = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!} \\
^{75}{P}_2 = \frac{75!}{(75-2)!} \\
= \frac{75*74*73!}{(73)!} \\
= 5550

\end{aligned}

2. 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}

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. 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

5. 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}
