1. If "n" is the number of persons, and if each shakes hand with every other person,
⋂=(⋂−1)
then the number of handshakes is
2

So you have this equation

⋂=(⋂−1)
= 28,
2
Which gives
n *(n - 1) = 2 *28 = 56;
hence ,
n=8
There were 8 persons present at the party.

n
2. C8 = nC27
n
Cr = nCn-r
r + (n - r) = n
let r = 8 and n – r = 27
8 + 27 = n
n = 35

3. There are the same numbers of digits for the tens, hundred and thousand.
There are 4! = 24 numbers that can be formed using the digit 2,3,4,5 without repition.
Each position appears 24 times: that is 6 times in each position
Sum of all 24 members =6(2+3+4+5) +60(2+3+4+5)+600(2+3+4+5)+6000(2+3+4+5)
=6666 * 4 = 93324

4. C3 = 4C3
14! 4!
(14−3)!3!
= (4−3)!3!

364 – 4 = 360
