dear friends,
its high time to prepare for the crt since this is the last
chance we have to prove that we are also worth registering. don't you
think so? here are a few basic fundas and few questions for u to
solve.........
since permutations and combinations (p&c) and probabilty carry
considerable weightage and since they are also easy to solve if u
know the funda, here i start with them.........
--------------------------------------------------------------------
p & c
1. the no. of ways n different things can be arranged taking r at a
time is given by npr=n!/(n-r)!.
2. the no. of ways n things can be arranged taking r at a time if
repetetions are allowed= n^r.(n power r).
3. the no.of ways m+n things can be divided into two groups of m & n
things respectively is given by (m+n)!/(m!n!).
4. the no. of ways 2n things can be divided into two groups of n
things is given by (2n)!/(2!n!n!). (think why /2!).
5. no. of ways in which n persons can be arranged around a
round table is (n-1)!.
6. no. of ways in which n beads can be placed in a garland is
(n-1)!/2. (think why /2).
7. no. of diagnals in an n sided polygon is n(n-3)/2.
8. no. of triangles that can be formed by joining the vertices of an
n sided plygon is nc3=n!/(3!)(n-3)!.
9. ncr+nc(r-1)=(n+1)cr.
10. sum of all n digit no.s formed from n given digits, where every
digit is distinct and not zero is: (n-1)!(sum of digits)(1111...n
times).
eg. sum of all 3 digit no.s formed from 3,4,5 is
(3-1)!(3+4+5)(111)=2*12*111=2664.
if one of them is a zero then sum=above sum-(n-2)!(sum of
digits)(111...(n-1)times).
eg. sum of 3 digit nos. from 0,3,4is
2*7*111-7*11.
(anyone who gets why this holds good can meet me to get a gift.)
***************************************************************
few questions for practice...........
1. "r" people are selected from n. these group of r is again split
into two groups of "a" & "b". in how many ways can this be done?
2. no. of ways in which 4 boys and 6 girls be arranged in a row so
that no two boys are together is __________.
3. nine articles are to be placed in nine boxes one in each box.
five of them are too big for three of the boxes. find the no. of
possible arrangements.
4. the letters of the word victory are arranged in all possible ways
and thus obtained are arranged in a lexicographical order. what is
the rank of this word "victory"?
 5. in how many ways the letters of the word proportion be arranged
without changing the relative positions of the vowels and consonants.
6. find the sum of all the nos. formed by taking all the digits from
{2,3,4,5}.
7. the no. of ways 6 men and 4 women to be seated round a table so
that no two ladies are to sit together is ________.
8. no. of positive integral factors of 1512 is ______.
9. no. of ways 10 beads can be arranged in a garland is____.
10. a cricket team of 11 is to be selected out of 14 players of whom
5 are bowlers. find the no. of ways in which this can be done so as
to include at least 3 bowlers.
11. m parallel lines are intersected by a family of n parallel
lines. no. of parallelograms formed is________--
12. no. diagnols in a hexagon is__________
13. no. of triangles fromed by joing the vertices of a octagon is
_______
14. no. of ways in which 6 apples can be ditributed among 4 people
if a person get 0 or 1 or 2 or.. 6 apples. ________
15. no.of ways in which 9 things can be ditributed into 3 groups of
3 things each is__________
16. no. of functios that can be defined from a an "n" element set to
an "m" element set are_____________.
17. lastly, whoever gets this first can be sure of getting a juice
in juc. n st.lines in a plane, no two of which are parallel lines,
and no three pass through the same point. their points of
intersections are joined. the no. of fresh lines formed is________.

all the best.......

p.s: i request people who are good at c and other areas in apti to

will be another practice...... hope people will care to post few
