(b) 720
(c) 3600
(d) None of these
Answer Key with explanation
1) (a) 504
9P3 = 9!/6!
Because, nPr
= (9 ×8 ×7 ×6!)/6!
= 9 × 8 × 7 = 504
2) (b) 8
nP5 = 20 nP3
(n – 3)(n – 4) = 20
n = 8 (n = -1 is inadmissible)
3) (a) 216
| 4 | 4 | 3 | 2 |
= 4 × 4 × 3 × 2 = 96
Thousands place cannot assume 3 since required numbers are greater than 5000.
|
5 |
4 |
3 |
2 |
1 |
= 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 120
Total required numbers = 96 + 120 = 216.
4) (b) 1680
| 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 |
= 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 = 1680
3 and 5 have been already used, so we have 8 digits for thousands place, then 7 digits for hundreds place, 6 digits for tens digit and remaining 5 digits for unit place.
5) (c) 120
A number is divisible by 5 only if its unit digit is either 5 or 0. So we fix 5 as unit digit and then we fill up the remaining places.
| 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
= 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 120
Hence, required number is 120.
6) (a) 111
Case 1
| 3 | 3 | 1 |
= 3 × 3 × 1 = 9
When 2 is fixed at unit place, we have 3, 4 and 5 i.e., 3 digits for hundreds place and remaining 3 digits (out of 5) for the tens place.
| 2 | 3 | 1 |
= 2 × 3 × 1 = 6
When 4 is fixed at unit place, we have 3 and 5 i.e., only two digits for hundreds place and remaining 3 digits for tens place.
Case 2
| 4 | 3 | 2 | 2 |
= 48
Case 3
| 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 2 |
= 48
5 digit numbers = 48
Thus there are total 15 + 48 + 48 = 111 even numbers greater than 300.
7) (a) 5040
There are 7 letters in the word RAINBOW and each letter is used only once. So all the 7 letters can be arranged in 7! Ways.
7! = 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 5040
8) (a) 720
If we fix R as initial letter, then we have to arrange only 6 remaining letters.
Hence required number of permutations = 6!
= 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 720
9) (a) 120
If we fix R and W as the first and last letters then we have to arrange only 5 remaining letters which can be arranged in 5! = 120 ways.
10) (c) 3600
Explanation:
Number of permutations when I and O are together
= 2! × 6! = 1440
Total number of permutations = 7! = 5040
Therefore, number of permutations when I and O are not together
= 5040 – 1440 = 3600
