Question 31. The number of nine digit numbers that can be formed with different digits is
 
  1.    9.8!      
  2.    8.9!
  3.    9.9!
  4.    10!
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 9.9!
:
C
Required number numbers = total - the number of numbers begining with 0 = 10!9!=9.9!

  1.    5C3
  2.    4C3
  3.    12
  4.    24
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 24
:
D
By fundamental theorem of Multiplication = 4 × 3 × 2
Question 33. Total 4 digit odd numbers that can be formed, if the digits used is not to be repeated again is
  1.    2240
  2.    2420
  3.    2440
  4.    2520
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 2240
:
A
The number of four digit numbers which satisfy the above condition = 8×8×7×5=2240
Question 34. The number of four digit even numbers that can be formed with 0,1,2,3,7,8, is
 
  1.    180
  2.    175
  3.    160
  4.    156
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 156
:
D
If 0 is in units place no. of ways = 5P3=60
If 2 or 8 is in units place no. of ways = 2(5P34P2)=96
Total : 60 + 96 = 156
Question 35. The number of permutations of n dissimilar things taken not more than ‘r’ at a time, when each thing may occur any number of times is
  1.    n(nr−1)n−1)
  2.    n(nn−nr)n−1)
  3.    nP1+nP2+⋯⋯+nPr
  4.    n(n−1)rn−1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> n(nr−1)n−1)
:
A
n+n2++nr=n(nr1)n1
Question 36. There are 5 doors to a lecture room. The number of ways that a student can enter the room and leave it by a different door is
  1.    20
  2.    16
  3.    19
  4.    25
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 20
:
A
A student can enter the room in 5 ways but he can leave the room in 4 ways.
The total number of ways in which this can be done = 5 × 4 = 20
Question 37. M men and n women are to be seated in a row so that no two women sit together. If m > n, then the number of ways in which they can be seated is
  1.    m!n!       
  2.    m!mPn        
  3.    n!mPn        
  4.    m!m+1Pn        
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> m!m+1Pn        
:
D
The number of ways in which they can be seated = m!.m+1Pn
Question 38. The number of permutations that can be made out of the letters of the word “EQUATION” which start with a consonant and end with a consonant is
  1.    2!6!
  2.    3!6!
  3.    3!5!
  4.    2!5!
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 3!6!
:
B
Consonants occupy 2 ends in 3P2ways remaining 6 letters occupy 6 places in 6! Ways
So the required number of arrangements = 3P2.6!=3!6!
Question 39. If 56Pr+6:54Pr+3 = 30800:1, then r =
  1.    31
  2.    41
  3.    51
  4.    40
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 41
:
B
56!(50r)!×(51r)!54!
= 30800156×55×(51r) = 30800r = 41
Question 40. 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.
The total number of such 5 digit number = 5P5+(5P54P4)= 120 + 96 = 216 .
