Answers & Solutions:
1) Answer (D)
Number of ways of arranging seven letters = 7!
Let us consider the two vowels as a group
Now the remaining five letters and the group of two vowels = 6
These six letters can be arranged in 6!2! ways( 2! is the number of ways the two vowels can be arranged among themselves)
The number of ways of arranging seven letters such that no two vowels come together
= Number of ways of arranging seven letters – Number of ways of arranging the letters with the two vowels being together
= 7! – (6!2!)
= 3600
2) Answer (A)
Circular permutation = n! (n – 1)!
∴ Number of ways = 6! (6 – 1)! = 6! × 5!
3) Answer (B)
Word name: ‘JOKE’ Vowels: O, E
Consonants: J, K
∴ Possible arrangement beginning with consonant: JOKE, KOJE, JEKO, KEJO = 4 Numbers
beginning with vowel: OJEK, OKEJ, EJOK, EKOJ = 4 Numbers
Required number = 4+4 = 8 numbers
4) Answer (B)
No two women would be seated next to each other if they sit between men. So, first the men can be arranged in 5! ways. There are six spots between the men. Number of ways to arrange the 3 women in those six spots is $ P_6^3 $ ways. So, total number of ways = 120*120 = 14400 ways.
5) Answer (E)
If there are n different letter in a word then n! different words can be formed.
In SIMPLE there are 6 different letters and hence 6! new words can be formed by different arangement.
Hence, 720 new words can be formed.
6) Answer (A)
If a word has n different letters in it, then they can be arranged in n! different ways.
Here SECOND has 6 different letters and they can be arranged in 6! ways i.e 720 different ways.
7) Answer (B)
To check if a number is divisible by 45, we have to check the divisibility of the number by 5 and 9.
x = 123456789………424344
Let us check the divisibility of x by 5:
For a number to be divisible by 5, it’s unit digit has to be 0 or 5.
Since the unit digit is 4, the remainder obtained when x is divided by 5 is 4
Let us check the divisibility of x by 9:
Sum from 1 to 9 = 45. Sum from 10 to 19 = 45+10 =55. Sum from 20 to 29 =65. Sum from 30 to 39 = 75. Sum from 40 to 44 = 30. Therefore total sum of the digits of the number = 270. Therefore, the number is divisible by 9.
Using Chinese Remainder theorem,
5p+4=9q
When p = 1, both LHS = RHS
Hence when p = 1, 5p+4=9
So 9 is the remainder when x is divided by 45.
8) Answer (D)
Number of ways of selecting 3 green marbles out of 3 green marbles =$^3C_3 = 1$
Number of ways of selecting 3 red marbles out of 4 red marbles = $^4C_3 = 4$
Total ways = 1+4 = 5
Probability =$\frac{5}{^{12}C_3} = 1/44$
9) Answer (A)
4 professors and 1 resarch associate can be selected in $^4C_4*^6C_1 = 6$ ways
Similarly 3 trainees and 2 professors would be selected in $^3C_3*^4C_2$ ways = 6
Total ways = 6+6 = 12
10) Answer (C)
We have to select 2 trainees out of 3 trainees and 3 resarch associates out of 6 resarch associates.
Required number of ways = $^3C_2*^6C_3 = 60$ ways
11) Answer (D)
The number 7 can be obtained in 6 ways. (6,1), (1,6), (5,2), (2,5), (4,3), (3,4).
Required probability = 6/36 = 1/6
12) Answer (D)
There are 6 letters in total of which three are repeated.
Hence, total number of arrangements = $\frac{6!}{3!}$ = 120
13) Answer (C)
As there are 6 different letters in the word “Bakery” hence, total number of ways of arranging it will be = 6! = 720
14) Answer (D)
If a word has n different letters then they can be arranged in n! different ways.
DAILY has 5 different letters which can bve arranged in 5! different ways.
5!=5*4*3*2*1=120
Therefore, option D is answer.
15) Answer (A)
The word “Party” can be arranged in 5! ways as there are all different letters in the word.
Hence, answer will be = 120
