Q:

How many 3-digit numbers can be formed from the digits 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 9 which are divisible by 5 and none of the digits is repeated ?

A) 15	B) 20
C) 5	D) 10

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 20

Explanation:

Since each number to be divisible by 5, we must have 5 0r 0 at the units place. But in given digits we have only 5.

So, there is one way of doing it.

Tens place can be filled by any of the remaining 5 numbers.So, there are 5 ways of filling the tens place.

The hundreds place can now be filled by any of the remaining 4 digits. So, there are 4 ways of filling it.

Required number of numbers = (1 x 5 x 4) = 20.

We may have (1 boy and 3 girls)or(2boys and 2 girls)or(3 boys and 1 girl)or(4 boys).

Required number of ways = ( ${}^{6}C_{1} \times {}^{4}C_{3}$ ) + $({}^{6}C_{2} \times {}^{4}C_{2})$ + ( ${}^{6}C_{3} \times {}^{4}C_{1}$ ) + ( ${}^{6}C_{4}$ )

= (24+90+80+15)

= 209.

Q:

In a bag, there are 8 red, 7 blue and 6 green flowers. One of the flower is picked up randomly. What is the probability that it is neither red nor green ?

$A) \frac{1}{3}$

$B) \frac{8}{21}$

$C) \frac{6}{21}$

$D) \frac{20}{21}$

A) Option A	B) Option B
C) Option C	D) Option D

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Option A

Explanation:

Total number of flowers = (8+7+6) = 21.

Let E = event that the flower drawn is neither red nor green.

= event taht the flower drawn is blue.

--> n(E)= 7

--> P(E)= $\frac{7}{21}$ = $\frac{1}{3}$

Q:

A box contains 5 green, 4 yellow and 5 white pearls. Four pearls are drawn at random. What is the probability that they are not of the same colour ?

A) 11/91

B) 4/11

C) 1/11

D) 90/91

A) Option A	B) Option B
C) Option C	D) Option D

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Option D

Explanation:

Let S be the sample space. Then,
n(s) = number of ways of drawing 4 pearls out of 14

= $C_{4}^{14}$ ways = $\frac{14 \times 13 \times 12 \times 11}{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}$ = 1001

Let E be the event of drawing 4 pearls of the same colour.
Then, E = event of drawing (4 pearls out of 5) or (4 pearls out of 4) or (4 pearls out of 5)

$\Rightarrow C_{1}^{5} + C_{4}^{4} + C_{1}^{5}$ = 5+1+5 =11

P(E) = $\frac{n (E)}{n (S)} = \frac{11}{1001} = \frac{1}{91}$

Required probability = $1 - \frac{1}{91} = \frac{90}{91}$
