Question 512 Marks
How many words can be formed from the letters of the word 'SUNDAY'? How many of these begin with D?
Answer
There are 6 letters in the word 'SUNDAY'. The total number of words formed with these 6 letters is the number of arrangements of 6 items, taken all at a time, which is equal to ${ }^6 P _6=6!=6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1=720$. If we fix up Din the beginning, then the remaining 5 letters can be arranged in ${ }^5 P_5=5$ ! ways. so, the total number of words which begin with $D=5!$

Question 522 Marks
How many 6-digit telephone numbers can be constructed with digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 if each number starts with 35 and no digit appears more than once?
Answer
Total number of digits = 10 The first two digits of telephone is 35 and no digit appears more than once.$\therefore$ Total number of remaining digits = 10 - 2 = 8
And, Total number of remaining digits of telephone number = 6 - 2 = 4 $\therefore$ Required number of telephone numbers $=\ ^8\text{P}_4$ $=\frac{8!}{(8-4)!}$ $=\frac{8!}{4!}$ $=\frac{8\times7\times6\times5\times4!}{4!}$ $= 1680$

Question 532 Marks
How many words can be formed out of the letters of the word 'ARTICLE', so that vowels occupy even places?
Answer
We have to arrange 7 letters in a row such that vowels occupy even places. There are 3 even places (2, 4, 6). Three vowels can be arranged in these 3 even places in 3! ways. Remaining 4 odd places (1, 3, 5, 7) are to be occupied by the 4 consonants. This can be done in 4! ways. Hence, the total number of words in which vowels occupy even places = 3! × 4! = 3 × 2 × 4 × 3 × 2 = 144

Question 552 Marks
How many numbers of six digits can be formed from the digits 0, 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 when no digit is repeated? How many of them are divisible by 10?
Answer
Total number of digits = 6 we cannot have Oat the first digit of the required six-digit numbers The digits cannot repeat in the six digits number. $\therefore$ Total number of six digit number are = 5 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 600 Now, the six digit number can be divided by 10, if its last digit is 0. $\therefore$ Total numbers which are divisible by 10 = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 × 1 = 120

Question 602 Marks
Four books, one each in Chemistry, Physics, Biology and Mathematics, are to be arranged in a shelf. In how many ways can this be done?
Answer
Total number of books = 4 $\therefore$ Total number of ways = Number of arrangments of 4 books, taken all at a time $= \ ^{4}\text{P}_4$$=\frac{4!}{(4-4)!} \ \bigg[\because ^\text{n}\text{p}_\text{r}=\frac{\text{n!}}{(\text{n-r})!}\bigg]$
$=\frac{4!}{0!}$
$=4! \ [\because 0!=1]$
$=4\times3\times2\times1$
$=24$
Hence, the total number of ways to arrange the books in a shelf = 24

Question 612 Marks
Find x in the following. $\frac{1}{4!}+\frac{1}{5!}=\frac{\text{x}}{6!}$
Answer
We have, $\frac{1}{4!}+\frac{1}{5!}=\frac{\text{x}}{6!}$ $\Rightarrow​​​​​​​​\frac{1}{4!}+\frac{1}{4\times5!}=\frac{\text{x}}{6\times5\times4!}$ $\Rightarrow4!\times\bigg[\frac{1}{4!}+\frac{1}{5\times4!}\bigg]=\frac{\text{x}}{30}$ $\Rightarrow1+\frac{1}{58}=\frac{\text{x}}{30}$ $\Rightarrow\frac{6}{5}=\frac{\text{x}}{30}$ $\Rightarrow\frac{\text{x}}{30}=\frac{6}{5}$ $\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{6\times30}{5}$ $\Rightarrow6\times6$ $\Rightarrow\text{x}= 36$ Hence, $\text{x}= 36$

Question 622 Marks
How many different numbers of six digits can be formed from the digits 3, 1, 7, 0, 9, 5 when repetition of digits is not allowed?
Answer
We cannot have 0 at the first dig it of six-digit numbers. So, the first digit of six-digit numbers can be selected in 5 ways. Now, 5 digits are left including 0. So, second digit of six-digit numbers can be selected in 5 ways. Third digit of six-diqit numbers can be selected in 4 ways. Fourth digit of six-digit numbers can be selected in 3 ways Fifth digit of six-digit numbers can be selected in 2 ways. Last digit of six-digit numbers can be selected in 1 ways. Hence, total number of num bers = 5 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 600

Question 632 Marks
How many different five-digit number licence plates can be made if.
  1. First digit cannot be zero and the repetition of digits is not allowed.
  2. The first-digit cannot be zero, but the repetition of digits is allowed?
Answer
  1. Zero cannot be first digit of the license plates.
This means the first digit can be selected from the 9 digits 1, 2, 3, 4 .... , 9 So, there are 9 ways of filling the first digit of the license plates.
Now, 9 digits are Ieft including 0. So, second place can be filled with any of the remaining 9 digits in 9 ways.
The third place of the license plates can be filled with in any of the remaining 8 digits. So, there are 8 ways of filling the third place.
The fourth place of the license plates can be filled with in any of the remaining 7 digits. So, there are 7 ways at filling the fourth place.
The last place of the license plates can be filled with in any of the remaining 6 digits. So, there are 6 ways of filling the fourth place.
Hence, the total number of ways = 9 × 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 = 27216
  1. Zero cannot be first digit of the license plates.
$\therefore$ First digit can be selected from the 9 digits 1, 2, 3 ..... , 9 So, there are 9 ways at filling the first digit of the licence plates.
The repetition of digits is allowed to made a license plates number.
$\therefore$ The number of ways to fill the remaining places of the number platas = 10 × 10 × 10 × 10.
Hence, the total number of ways = 9 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 90,000.

Question 662 Marks
How many four digit different numbers, greater than 5000 can be formed with the digits 1, 2, 5, 9, 0 when repetition of digits is not allowed?
Answer
Since the required num bars are greater than 5000. $\therefore$ the thousand's place can be filled with any of two digits 5 or 9. So, there are 2 ways of filling the thousand's place. Since repetition of digits is not allowed, so the hundred's ten's and one's places can be filled in 4, 3 and 2 ways respectively. Hence, the required number of num bers = 2 × 4 × 3 × 2 = 49

Question 672 Marks
In how many ways can the letters of the word 'FAILURE' be arranged so that the consonants may occupy only odd positions?
Answer
There are 4 vowels and 3 consonants in the word 'FAILURE'. We have to arrange 7 letters in a row such that consonants occupy odd places. There are 4 odd places (1, 3, 5, 7). There consonants can be arranged in these 4 odd places in $^4P_3$ ways. Remaining 3 even places (2, 4, 6) are to be occupied by the 4 vowels. This can be done in $^4P_3$ ways. Hence, the total number of words in which consonants occupy odd places $= \ ^4\text{P}_3 \times\ ^4\text{P}_3$ $= \frac{4!}{(4-3)!} \times \frac{4!}{(4-3)!}$ $= 4\times3\times 2\times 1\times 4\times3\times 2\times 1$ $=24\times24$ $=576$
