Question 41. The number of numbers of 4 digits which are not divisible by 5 are
  1.    7200
  2.    3600
  3.    14400
  4.    1800
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 7200
:
A
The total number of 4 digits are 9999-999=9000.
The numbers of 4 digits number divisible by 5 are 90×20=1800. Hence required number of ways are 9000-1800 =7200.
{Since there are 20 numbers in each hundred (1 to 100) divisible by 5 and from 999 to 9999 there are 90 hundreds, hence the results}.
Question 42. The number of ways in which the letters of the word TRIANGLE can be arranged such that two vowels do not occur together is
  1.    1200
  2.    2400
  3.    14400
  4.    1440

Answer: Option C. -> 14400
:
C
TRNGL
Three vowels can be arrange at 6 places in 6P3 = 120 ways. Hence the required number of arrangements = 120×5! =14400.
Question 43. The number of times the digit 3 will be written when listing the integers from 1 to 1000 is
  1.    269
  2.    300
  3.    271
  4.    302
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 300
:
B
To find the number of times 3 occurs in listing the integer from 1 to 999. (since 3 does notoccur in 1000). Any number between 1 to 999 is a 3 digit number xyzz where the digit x,y,z are any digits from 0 to 9.
Now, we first count the numbers in which 3 occurs once only. Since 3 can occur at one place in 3C1ways, there are 3C1.(9×9) = 3.92such numbers.
Again, 3 can occur in exactly two places in 3C1(9) such numbers. Lastly 3 can occur in all the three digits in one such number only 333.
The number of times 3 occurs is equal to 1×(3×92)+2×(3×9)+3×1=300.
Question 44. 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

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 45. An n-digit number is a positive number with exactly n digits. Nine hundred distinct n-digit numbers are to be formed using only the three digits 2, 5 and 7. The smallest value of n for which this is possible is
  1.    6
  2.    7
  3.    8
  4.    9
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 7
:
B
Since at any place, any of the digits 2, 5 and 7 can be used, total number of such positive n-digit numbers are 3n. Since we have to form 900 distinct numbers, hence 3n900n = 7
Question 46. 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 47. 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 48. A man X has 7 friends, 4 of them are ladies and 3 are men. His wife Y also has 7 friends, 3 of them are ladies and 4 are men. Assume X and Y have no common friend.

Answer: Option A. -> 485
:
A
Given, X has 7 friends, 4 of them are ladies and 3 are men while Y has 7 friends, 3 of them are ladies and 4 are men.
