In a box there are coins marked 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8. Without repeating any digit, how many numbers can you form in the range 500 - 1000 (excluding 500 and 1000).
  1. ক) 60
  2. খ) 70
  3. গ) 90
  4. ঘ) 147
ব্যাখ্যা

There are total 7 digits given - 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 0
Between 500 and 1000 means from 501 to 999.

All of them are 3 digit numbers.
First digit - 5, 6 or 8 i.e. 3 possibilities (1 digit gets used here)
Second digit - Any one from 7-1 = 6 remaining digits i.e. 6 possibilities
Third digit - Any one from 6-1 = 5 remaining digits i.e. 5 possibilities

∴ Total numbers possible = 3 x 6 x 5 = 90.

Arrange the letters of the word ''DARKER'' so that the three vowels do not appear together. In how many ways can this be done?
  1. ক) 240
  2. খ) 360
  3. গ) 500
  4. ঘ) 720
ব্যাখ্যা

'DARKER' has 6 letters.

Thus, we can arrange 6 letters in 6! ways.
But R gets repeated. There are 2R's. So divide by 2!

∴ Total ways = 6!/2! = 360
Vowels not together = Total ways - Vowels together

Consider the 2 vowels (A and E) as one group.
We have 4 letters and 1 group = 5
We can arrange them in 5! Ways.

But again here R comes twice. So we will have 5!/2!
Also, the 2 vowels can be arranged in 2! Ways.
SO the number of ways with vowels together = 2! × (5!/2!) = 120

∴ Number of ways with vowels not together = 360 - 120 = 240.

A television show was attended by 12 well known celebrities. Each one of them shook hands with each other once at the beginning of the show. Find the number of handshakes that took place on the show.
  1. ক) 24
  2. খ) 66
  3. গ) 120
  4. ঘ) 132
ব্যাখ্যা

There are 12 celebrities. A handshake needs 2 people.
This simply means in how many ways 2 people can be selected out of 12.

So the answer is 12C2

nCr = n!/r!(n - r)!

12C2 = 12!/2!(12 - 2)! = (12 × 11)/2
= 66 = number of handshakes. [If there are n people and they shake hands only once with each other, then, Number of handshakes = nc2 = n(n -1)/2]

There are 20 stops for the local trains running between Churchgate and Virar. A passenger travelling between any two stops needs to buy a ticket. How many types of tickets are required to be made to meet all the possibilities?
  1. ক) 72
  2. খ) 190
  3. গ) 380
  4. ঘ) 760
ব্যাখ্যা

We need to SELECT people.
[SELECT = Combination = nCr = n!/r!(n-r)!

There are 20 stations. A ticket is needed between 2 stops.
That means, we simply need to select 2 stops from possible 20 stops.

That can be done by 20C2 = 20!/2!(20 - 2)! = 20!/2!18! = 190 ways.

This is when we start from one side.
When we travel from the other side we will need a separate ticket.
That means while going from A to B and B to A, we will need separate tickets.
So again on another side, we need 190 tickets.

Total tickets = 190 + 190 = 380 tickets.

19 ladies are there in a group. Find the number of ways, in which they can be made to stand in 2 circles of 9 and 10 ladies?
  1. ক) 9! X 8!
  2. খ) 19C10 x 9! X 8!
  3. গ) 19C9 x 9! X 10!
  4. ঘ) None of the above
ব্যাখ্যা

We need to SELECT people.
[SELECT = Combination = nCr = n!/r!(n-r)!

Here, we first have to select 10 ladies from 19.
Select = Combination
∴ Select 10 ladies = 19C10

Arrange 10 ladies in circle = 10 - 1 = 9! ways
19 - 10 = 9 ladies remain.
Arrange the remaining 9 ladies in another circle = 9 - 1 = 8! ways

∴ Total ways to arrange 19 ladies in 2 required circles = 19C10 × 9! × 8!

.
How many 4 letter words with or without meaning, can be formed out of the letters of the word, ‘LOGARITHMS’, if repetition of letters is not allowed ?
  1. ক) 40
  2. খ) 400
  3. গ) 5040
  4. ঘ) 2520
ব্যাখ্যা

‘LOGARITHM’ contains 10 different letters.

Required number of word
= Number of arrangements of 10 letters, taking 4 at a time
= 10P4 = (10 × 9 × 8 × 7) = 5040.

Five students are to be arranged on five chairs for a photograph. Three of these are girls and the rest are boys. Find out the number of ways in which all three girls do not occupy consecutive seats.
  1. ক) 120
  2. খ) 36
  3. গ) 84
  4. ঘ) 76
ব্যাখ্যা

As per the question, three girls can’t occupy consecutive seats but two can.

Therefore, if we find the number of ways in which all three girls occupy consecutive seats and subtract this number from the total number of ways in which the five people can be arranged among themselves, we will get the required answer.

5 students can be arranged among themselves in 5p5 ways = 120 ways.

Assume that the 3 girls are one entity. The total number of ways in which they can be arranged among themselves = 3! = 6
Also, the set of three girls and the other students can be arranged among themselves in 3! = 6 ways.
Thus, the total number of ways in which three girls are together = 6 × 6 = 36

Thus, a number of ways in which all 3 girls will not occupy consecutive seats = 120 – 36 = 84.

There are 2 yellow, 6 black, 4 grey and 8 red pebbles in a glass bowl. I pick one pebble randomly. What is the probability of me picking up a black or red pebble?
  1. ক) 1/10
  2. খ) 7/10
  3. গ) 3/4
  4. ঘ) 4/3
ব্যাখ্যা

We know,
Probability = what we want/Total
Or = add; AND = multiply

We want black OR red pebble
There are 6 black and 8 red pebbles
Total pebbles = 2 + 6 + 4 + 8 = 20

So, Probability = 6/20 + 8/20 = 14/20 = 7/10.

Rakib studies with the help of flash cards. He has a set of 30 flash cards out of which 17 cards are white and rest are grey. 4 white and 5 grey cards are marked ENGLISH. Find the possibility of choosing a grey card or an ''ENGLISH'' Card randomly from the set.
  1. ক) 9/13
  2. খ) 13/30
  3. গ) 17/30
  4. ঘ) 22/30
ব্যাখ্যা

We know,
Probability = what we want/Total
Or = add; AND = multiply

We want a grey card OR ENGLISH card
There are 30 - 17 = 13 grey cards
There are 4 + 5 = 9 ENGLISH cards
Total cards = 30
Also, 5 grey cards are ENGLISH cards.

So Probability = 13/30 + 9/30 - 5/30 = (13 + 9 - 5)/30
= 17/30 [This subtraction is needed a grey card gets counted twice - once in 13 grey cards and once again in 9 ENGLISH cards.]

There are 6 orange, 2 pink, 4 yellow and 3 green towels in a carton. What is the probability of picking up 2 orange towels randomly.
  1. ক) 1/7
  2. খ) 2/15
  3. গ) 2/7
  4. ঘ) 6/15
ব্যাখ্যা

We know,
Probability = what we want/Total
Or = add; AND = multiply

We want 2 orange towels
That means to choose one AND then choose other from the remaining towels
There are 6 orange towels
Total 15 towels

So probability for two orange towels = 6/15 × 5/14
= 1/7 [Here we reduce the denominator i.e. the total number of towels because once we remove a towel from the box we do not put it back in the box.
So while removing the 2nd towel, there are only 15 - 1 = 14 towels in the box.]

Akash travels with his two friends to Australia. In his bag, he has 6 black, 4 red, 2 white and 3 blue shirts. On Christmas eve all three of them chose to wear shirts from Akash's collection. Find the probability of 2 red shirts and 1 blue shirt being chosen randomly.
  1. ক) 7/2730
  2. খ) 7/435
  3. গ) 18/455
  4. ঘ) 7/15
ব্যাখ্যা

We want 2 red and 1 blue shirt
There are 4 red shirts and 3 blue shirts
Total = 15 shirts
You can choose a blue shirt 1st, then a red shirt and then a red shirt

Probability = 3/15 × 4/14 × 3/13 = 6/455

OR You can choose a red shirt 1st, then redshirt and then a blue shirt
OR You can choose a red shirt 1st, then a blue shirt and then red-shirt
For all 3 the probability remains the same = 6/455

We need to add these 3 probabilities to get the total probability
Total probability = 6/455 + 6/455 + 6/455 = 18/455.

Out of 6 black, 4 red, 2 white and 3 blue marbles in a box, find the probability of choosing at least 1 red marble when 4 marbles are randomly picked.
  1. ক) 24/455
  2. খ) 69/91
  3. গ) 22/91
  4. ঘ) 4/15
ব্যাখ্যা

Choosing 4 marbles means 1st marble AND then 2nd AND then 3rd AND then 4th marble
At least 1 red marble means there can be 1, 2, 3, or 4 red marbles.
So, Probability of choosing red = 1 - Probability of not choosing red
If we remove red marbles, then 15 - 4 red marbles = 11 marbles remain.
We have to choose 4 out of these 11.

So Probability of choosing 4 marbles that are not red = 11/15 × 10/14 × 9/13 × 8/12 = 22/91.

∴ Probability of picking at least 1 red marble = 1 - 22/91 = 69/91.
[Here we reduce the denominator i.e. the total number of marbles because once we remove a marble from the box we do not put it back in the box.
So while removing the 2nd marble, there are only 15 - 1 = 14 marbles in the box. The same is for the 3rd and 4th marbles.]

Protik rolled a dice twice and he saw that the addition of two numbers that appeared on the top face was 8. Find the probability of getting a 4 on the top face of the dice in the first throw.
  1. ক) 1/36
  2. খ) 2/36
  3. গ) 1/6
  4. ঘ) 1/5
ব্যাখ্যা

A dice has 6 faces.
So there are 6 possible outcomes
Dice are rolled once AND then again.
So total possibilities = 6 x 6 = 36

The sum should be 8 of the 2 throws.
So which combination of numbers from 1 to 6 will yield us a sum of 8?
They are - (2,6); (6,2); (3,5); (5,3); (4,4)

So there are a total of 5 possibilities where the addition is 8.
But only 1 possibility where the first throw of dice is 4.

So, the Probability for the first throw to be 4 and sum to be 8 = 1/36.

When 4 fair coins are tossed together what is the probability of getting at least 3 heads?
  1. ক) 1/4
  2. খ) 3/4
  3. গ) 5/16
  4. ঘ) 3/8
ব্যাখ্যা

When 4 fair coins are tossed simultaneously, the total number of outcomes is 24 = 16
At least 3 heads imply that one can get either 3 heads or 4 heads.
One can get 3 heads in 4C3 = 4 ways and can get 4 heads in 4C4

∴ Total number of favorable outcomes = 4 + 1 = 5
∴ The required probability = 1/4.

[To get 3 heads, means that one gets only one tail. This tail can be either the 1st coin, the 2nd coin, the 3rd, or the 4th coin. Thus there are only 4 outcomes which have three heads. The probability is 4/16 = 1/4.]
