Permutation and Combination XI Math

1. Out of 7 consonants and 4 vowels, how many words of


3 consonants and 2 vowels can be formed? Total number of ways
A. 24400 B. 21300 = 6C4 + 6C3 4C1 + 6C2 4C2 + 6C1 4C3
= 6C2 + 6C3 4C1 + 6C2 4C2 + 6C1 4C1[ nCr = nC(n-r)]
C. 210 D. 25200
Answer: Option D Explanation: =15+80+90+24=209

Number of ways of selecting 3 consonants from 7 3. From a group of 7 men and 6 women, five
= 7C3
persons are to be selected to form a committee
Number of ways of selecting 2 vowels from 4
so that at least 3 men are there in the
= 4C2
committee. In how many ways can it be done?
Number of ways of selecting 3 consonants from 7 and 2
vowels from 4 A. 624 B. 702
= 7C3 4C2
=(765321)(4321)=210=(765321)(4321)=210 C. 756 D. 812

It means we can have 210 groups where each group Answer: Option C Explanation:
contains total 5 letters (3 consonants and 2 vowels).
From a group of 7 men and 6 women, five persons
Number of ways of arranging 5 letters among are to be selected with at least 3 men.
themselves
=5!=54321=120=5!=54321=120
Hence we have the following 3 options.
Hence, required number of ways
=210120=25200=210120=25200 We can select 5 men ...(option 1)
Number of ways to do this = 7C5
2. In a group of 6 boys and 4 girls, four children are to
be selected. In how many different ways can they be
We can select 4 men and 1 woman ...(option 2)
selected such that at least one boy should be there?
Number of ways to do this = 7C4 6C1
A. 159 B. 209
C. 201 D. 212
We can select 3 men and 2 women ...(option 3)
Answer: Option B Explanation: Number of ways to do this = 7C3 6C2

In a group of 6 boys and 4 girls, four children are to be


Total number of ways
selected such that at least one boy should be there.
= 7C5 + (7C4 6C1) + (7C3 6C2)
Hence we have 4 options as given below = 7C2 + (7C3 6C1) + (7C3 6C2)[ nCr = nC(n - r) ]

We can select 4 boys ...(option 1) =21+210+525=756


Number of ways to this = 6C4

We can select 3 boys and 1 girl ...(option 2)


Number of ways to this = 6C3 4C1

We can select 2 boys and 2 girls ...(option 3)


Number of ways to this = 6C2 4C2

We can select 1 boy and 3 girls ...(option 4)


Number of ways to this = 6C1 4C3
