  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!
Question 22.


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 23.


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!(m2)!(n2)!
  3.     m!n!(2!)2(m2)!(n2)!
  4.     (m+n)!(m+n2)!2!
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> m!n!(2!)2(m2)!(n2)!
:
C

mC2. nC2


Question 24.


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 3P2 ways remaining 6 letters occupy 6 places in 6! Ways 
So the required number of arrangements = 3P2.6!=3!6!
Question 25.


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 26.


The number of ways that a volley ball 6 can be selected out of 10 players so that 2 particular players are excluded is 


  1.     56
  2.     55
  3.     27
  4.     28
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 28
:
D
The number of ways  selecting  6 out of 10 so that 2 particular  players are  always excluded is 102C6     
Question 27.


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!


Question 28.


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 29.


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(nr1)n1)
  2.     n(nnnr)n1)
  3.     nP1+nP2++nPr
  4.     n(n1)rn1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> n(nr1)n1)
:
A
n+n2++nr=n(nr1)n1
Question 30.

  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
