Question 21. The value of 2n{1.3.5.....(2n3)(2n1)} is
  1.    (2n)!n!
  2.    (2n)!2n
  3.    n!(2n)!
  4.    (2n−1)!n!
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> (2n)!n!
:
A
1.3.5......(2n1)2n = 1.2.3.4.5.6....(2n1)(2n)2n2.4.5.....2n
= (2n)!2n2n(1.2.3......n) = (2n)!n!
Question 22. There are four balls of different colours and four boxes of colours same as those of the balls. The number of ways in which the balls, one in each box, could be placed such that a ball does not go to box of its own colour is
  1.    8
  2.    7
  3.    9
  4.    6
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 9
:
C
Since number of derangements in such a problems is given by
n!{111!+12!13!+14!...............(1)n1n!}
Number of dearangements are
= 4!{12!13!+14!} = 12 -4 + 1 = 9
Question 23. How many numbers lying between 10 and 1000 can be formed from the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 (repetition is allowed)
  1.    1024
  2.    810
  3.    2346
  4.    729
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 810
:
B
The total number of numbers between 10 and 1000 are 989 but we have to form the numbers by using numerals 1,2,........9,so the numbers containing any '0' would be excluded i.e., Required number of ways
= 989 -















20,30,40,...........................100=9101,102,...........................200=19201,...............................300=19..................................................................................901,..............................900=18
















= 989(9+18+19×8)
Aliter:Between 10 and 1000, the numbers are of 2 digits and 3 digits.
Since repetition is allowed, so each digit can be filled in 9 ways.
Therefore number of 2 digit numbers = 989(9+18+19×8)
Aliter:Between 10 and 1000, the numbers are of 2 digits and 3 digits.
Since repetition is allowed, so each digit can be filled in 9 ways.
Therefore number of 2 digit numbers = 9×9 = 81
and number of 3 digit numbers 9×9×9 = 729
Hence total ways = 81 + 729 = 810.
Question 24. If 56Pr+6:54Pr+3 = 30800:1, then r =
 
  1.    31
  2.    41
  3.    51
  4.    40

B
56!(50r)!×(51r)!54!
= 30800156×55×(51r) = 30800r = 41
Question 25. A five digit number divisible by 3 has to be formed using the numerals 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 without repetition. The total number of ways in which this can be done is
 
  1.    216
  2.    240
  3.    600
  4.    3125
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 216
:
A
We know that a five digit number is divisible by 3, if and only if sum of its digits (= 15) is divisible by 3, therefore we should not use 0 or 3 while forming the five digit numbers.
Now,
(i) In case we do not use 0 the five digit number can be formed (from the digit 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) in 5P5ways.
(ii) In case we do not use 3, the five digit number can be formed (from the digit 0, 1, 2, 4, 5) in 5P54P4= 5! - 4!= 120 - 24 = 96 ways.
(4P4= cases when 0 is at the first position)
The total number of such 5 digit number = 5P5+(5P54P4)=120+96=216
Question 26. If m parallel lines in plane are intersected by n parallel lines, then number of parallelograms formed is
  1.    m!n!(2!)2
  2.    m!n!(m−2)!(n−2)!
  3.    m!n!(2!)2(m−2)!(n−2)!
  4.    (m+n)!(m+n−2)!2!

Question 27. The number of straight lines joining 8 points on a circle is
 
  1.    8
  2.    16
  3.    24
  4.    28
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 28

D
The number of straight lines is 8C2 = 28
Question 28. The number of ways of arranging 6 players to throw the hand ball so that the oldest player may not throw first is
 
  1.    720
  2.    600
  3.    120
  4.    480
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 600
:
B
The number of ways in which this can be done = 6! – 5! = 600
Question 29. 15 busses fly between Hyderabad and Tirupathi.The number of ways can a man go to tirupathi from Hyderabad by a bus and return by a different bus is
  1.    15
  2.    150
  3.    210
  4.    225
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 210
:
C
The number of ways in which a man travel from Hyderabad to Triupati is 15 and back to Hyderabad is 14 and hence the total number of ways =15 × 14 = 210
Question 30. The number of ways in which 8 boys be seated at a round table so that two particular boys are next to each other is
  1.    8!2!
  2.    7!2!
  3.    6!2!
  4.    6!
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 6!2!
:
C
The number of ways in which this can be done = 6! 2!
