There are 4 vowels, and all are alike i.e. 4As
There are 4 even places, i.e. 2nd,4th,6th and 8th.
There 4 even position can be filled by 4 vowels in 4!/4!=1 way.
Now we are left with 5 places in which 5 letters out of which 2Ls are alike and

Permutation and Combination

Now we can select two adjacent chairs in 5 ways and then nurses can sit on them

Ways to seat these two nurses = 2 × 5 × 2 = 20
All the nurses should not be together, so at least one girl should be in another
row from the remaining two nurses.
So from the remaining two nurses we select one to be seated in second row, ways
=2
Now in the second row we select one chair out of six to seat the selected girl,
ways = 6
Ways to seat third girl = 2 × 6 = 12
Now rest of the seven can be arranged in9! Ways
Total ways = 20 × 12 × 9! = 24 × 10!

Permutation and Combination

41) Answer – A
There are a total of 15 students who are available for selection and Amit has to
select 5 from these 15. Hence, the total number of ways in which this can be done
will be
15C5 = 15 × 14 × 13 × 12 × 11 / 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 = 3003
However, this includes all possible cases. We have to select the total number of
cases where there is at least 1 girl in the team.
So we can do Cases with at least 1 girl = Total cases – Cases where there is no
girl in the team.
Cases when no girl is selected in the team = 7 C5 (The team must be selected
from the boys only)
7 C5 = 21
Hence, the required number of cases = 3003 – 21 = 2982

42) Answer – B
Number of pizza = 5, toast = 2, coke = 3 and sweet = 5
No of possibilities
Item Alok Nickey Total Total
Pizza 5C2 3C2 5C2×3C2 30
Toast 2 2 2×2 4
Coke 3 3 3×3 9
Sweet 5 1 5×1 5
Total number of possibilities = 30 × 4 × 9 × 5 = 5400

43) Answer – D
I. 20, 5, 106260
The group A can be formed in,25C20 ways = 25!/ (5! × 20!)= 53130 ways
Group B can be formed in 25C5 ways =25!/ (5! × 20!)= 53130 ways
The required number of ways = 53130 +53130 = 106260 ways
II. 23, 2, 600
The group A can be formed in, 25C23 ways = 25!/ (23! × 2!)= 300 ways
Group B can be formed in 25C2 ways =25!/ (2! × 23!)= 300 ways
The required number of ways = 300+300 = 600 ways
III. 21, 4, 25300
The group A can be formed in, 25C21 ways = 25!/ (21! × 4!)= 12650 ways
Group B can be formed in 25C4 ways =25!/ (4! × 21!)= 12650 ways
The required number of ways = 12650 + 12650 = 25300 ways

I. 5, 6, 1890
Number of ways in which the kho-kho team is selected = 10C3 × 8C2 = 120 ×
28 = 3360
Number of ways in which the cricket team is selected = 8C4 × 7C2 = 70 × 21 =

Required difference = 3360 – 1470 = 1890
II. 4, 5, 868
Number of ways in which the kho-kho team is selected = 10C2 × 8C2 = 45 × 28
= 1260
Number of ways in which the cricket team is selected = 8C3 × 7C2 = 1176
Required difference = 1260 - 1176 = 84
III. 2, 3, 140
Number of ways in which the kho-kho team is selected = 10C0 × 8C2 = 1 × 28

I. 6, 4, 207360
The Chocos packets can arranged among themselves in 6! ways, the Biscuit
packet in 4! ways and Namkeen packet in 2! ways and there are three groups
which can be arranged in 3! ways.
∴ Reqd. number of arrangements = 6! 4! 2! 3! = 720 × 24 × 2 × 6 = 207360
II. 5, 3, 8640
The Chocos packets can arranged among themselves in 5! ways, the Biscuit
packet in 3! ways and Namkeen packet in 2! ways and there are three groups
which can be arranged in 3! ways.
∴ Reqd. number of arrangements = 5! 3! 2! 3! = 120 × 6 × 2 × 6 = 8640
III. 4, 3, 1728
The Chocos packets can arranged among themselves in 4! ways, the Biscuit

By statement I and III
Number of girls = 16/2+1=9
Number of boys = 7
Required number of ways = 7C4 ×9C1 + 7C3 × 9C2 + 7C2×9C3 + 7C1 ×9C4 +
7C5

49) Answer – B
Quantity I-
Let the total number of persons be N.
Given, total number of hand-shakes is 136 For a hand shake we require two
people, total number of handshake is NC2
∴ NC2 = 136
∴ N(N – 1) / 2 = 136
N² – N = 272
N² – N – 272 =0
(N – 17) (N + 16) = 0 ⇒ N = 17 persons
Quantity II – Total ways = 5C3 ×4C2 + 5C4 ×4C1 +5C5 ×4C0 = 81

Permutation and Combination

50) Answer – E
Quantity I - If a and b are always together, then total number of boys is 4. No. of
ways = 4!
a and b also interchange their place. No. of ways = 2!
Total ways = 4! × 2! = 48
Quantity II – ways = 7!/2! = 5040/2=2520
Quantity III – Number of vowels = E, E = 2
Number of consonants = N, R, G,Y = 4
Number of ways = (2! ×4! ×2! ) / 2! = 48
