Question 51.


If all the letters of the word RASAM can be arranged as in a dictionary, what is its rank?


  1.     40
  2.     35
  3.     41
  4.     42
  5.     None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 41
:
C

First we fix A as the first letter


No. of words possible with A as the first letter = 4! = 24


No. of words possible with M as the first letter= 4!2! = 12


No. of words possible with RAA as the first 3 letters = 2


No. of words possible with RAM as the first 3 letters = 2


Next word will be RASAM


Rank= 41


Question 52.


Find the number of natural number solutions of x1+x2+x3+3x4=15.


  1.     78
  2.     94
  3.     106

Answer: Option B. -> 94
:
B

X1X2X33X4=15Case 1:X1X2X33=15Case 2:X1X2X36=15Case 3:X1X2X39=15Case 4:X1X2X312=15
Case 1:
X1+X2+X3=12; Total number of natural number solution = 11C2=55
Case 2:
X1+X2+X3=9; Total number of natural number solution = 8C2=28
Case 3:
X1+X2+X3=6; Total number of natural number solution = 5C2=10
Case 4:
X1+X2+X3=3; Total number of natural number solution = 1
Total number of natural number solution = 55 + 28 + 10 + 1 = 94


Question 53.


How many integral solutions are there for the equation A+B+C = 10 where A1,B2,C3?


  1.     5C2
  2.     6C2
  3.     12C2
  4.     8C2
  5.     None of these

Answer: Option B. -> 6C2
:
B

This is a question based on SaD with a varying lower limit.


Take out 1+2+3=6 from the RHS. Equation changes to


A+B+C = 4. Answer will the arrangement of 4 zeroes and 2 ones = 6C2


Question 54.


In how many ways can you put 7 letters into their respective envelopes such that exactly 3 go into the right envelope?___.


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 6C2
:

No of ways in which the 3 correct envelopes can be selected= 7C3=35


Derangement of 4 envelopes & letters = 9 (derangement value for 4 is 9)


Total No of ways of arrangement = 9×35 = 315


Question 55.


The maximum number of rectangles that can be formed from a set of 5 parallel lines intersecting another set of 6 parallel lines is


  1.     620
  2.     150
  3.     120
  4.     180
  5.     200
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 150
:
B

To form a rectangle we need four intersecting lines.


The first two parallel lines can be selected in 5C2 ways and the other two parallel lines can be selected in 6C2 ways.


Total number of parallelograms which can be formed= 10×15=150


Question 56.


The number of four digit numbers that can be formed from the digits 2,3,5,6,7,8 so that the digits do not repeat and the terminal digits are even is ___.


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 150
:

If the first digit and last digit of the four digit number needs to be even, then we have to choose numbers out of 2, 6 and 8


The first digit can be chosen in 3 ways and the last digit in 2 ways = 3×2=6 ways


The remaining two digits can be chosen and arranged among the remaining 4 digits in 4P2 ways = 12 ways


Total number of ways = 6×12=72 ways


Question 57.


What are the numbers of ways in which 5 similar balls will be put in 4 distinct baskets when the first basket has 0 balls?


  1.     15
  2.     21
  3.     19
  4.     10
  5.     200
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 21
:
B

0 balls are going to basket A. hence we will consider the distribution only in the remaining 3 baskets


B+C+D = 5


Total = 7C2=21


Question 58.


There are 6 friends A,B,C,D,E and F. B does not want to sit next to D,E or F and E does not want to sit next to A,B or C. In how many ways can you arrange these 6 people around a circular table?


  1.     8
  2.     2
  3.     1
  4.     4
  5.     87
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 4
:
D

If B, does not want any neighbour among D,E,F, B needs to be seated between only A and C. A and C can be arranged in 2! Ways


Similarly, E who does not want to be seated next to A,B or C will be seated between the other two( D,F). Those two can be arranged in 2! Ways.


Total number of arrangements= 2×2=4


Question 59.


How many numbers (N) can we have, such that 100<N<1000 with the sum of the digits of these numbers as 10?


  1.     55
  2.     66
  3.     78
  4.     27
  5.     52
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 55
:
A

Use the concept of grouping, for a three digit number ABC


A+B+C = 10, A >1


It changes to A + B + C = 9


Number of possible solutions = 11C2=55


Question 60.


What are the numbers of ways in which 5 similar balls will be put in 4 distinct baskets when the second basket has exactly 2 balls?


  1.     12
  2.     10
  3.     18
  4.     12
  5.     200
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 10
:
B

Let’s number the baskets as A,B,C and D


With the first constraint, 2 of the balls are going to basket 2(B), hence we have 5-2=3 balls left to distribute among the remaining baskets.


A+C+D = 3


Number of distributions possible = 5C2 = 10
