Q:

In the below word how many words are there in which R and W are at the end positions?

RAINBOW

A) 120 B) 180
C) 210 D) 240

Answer:   D) 240



Explanation:

When R and W are the first and last letters of all the words then we can arrange them in 5!ways. Similarly When W and R are the first and last letters of the words then the remaining letters can be arrange in 5! ways.

Thus the total number of permutations = 2 x 5!  = 2 x 120 = 240

Q:

Find the sum of the all the numbers formed by the digits 2,4,6 and 8 without repetition. Number may be of any of the form like 2,24,684,4862 ?

A) 133345 B) 147320
C) 13320 D) 145874
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 147320

Explanation:

Sum of 4 digit numbers = (2+4+6+8) x P33 x (1111) = 20 x 6 x 1111 = 133320 


Sum of 3 digit numbers = (2+4+6+8) x P23 x (111) = 20 x 6 x 111 = 13320 


Sum of 2 digit numbers = (2+4+6+8) x P13 x (11) = 20 x 3 x 11 = 660 


Sum of 1 digit numbers = (2+4+6+8) x P03 x (1) = 20 x 1 x 1 = 20 

 

Adding All , Sum = 147320

C) 46587 D) 52487
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 50540

Explanation:

Given G + B= 41 and B = G-1
Hence, G = 21 and B = 20
Now we have 2 options,
1G and 3M
(or)
3G and 1M
(2G and 2M or 0G and 4M or 4G and oM are not allowed),

 

Total : C121×C320+C321×C120= 50540 ways.

Q:

What is the sum of all 3 digits number that can be formed using digits 0,1,2,3,4,5 with no repitition ?

A) 28450 B) 26340
C) 32640 D) 36450
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 32640

Explanation:

We know that zero can't be in hundreds place. But let's assume that our number could start with zero.

 

The formula to find sum of all numbers in a permutation is

 

111 x no of ways numbers can be formed for a number at given position x sum of all given digits

 

No of 1 s depends on number of digits

 

So,the answer us

 

111 x 20 x (0+1+2+3+4+5) = 33300

 

We got 20 as follows. If we have 0 in units place we can form a number in 4*5 ways. This is for all numbers. So we have substituted 20 in formula.

 

Now, this is not the final answer because we have included 0 in hundreds place. so we have to remove the sum of all numbers that starts with 0.

 

This is nothing but the sum of all 2 digits numbers formed by 1 2 3 4 5. Because 0 at first place makes it a 2 digit number.

 

So the sum for this is 11 x 4 x (1+2+3+4+5).
=660

 

Hope u understood why we use 4. Each number can be formed in 4x1 ways

 

So, the final answer is 33300-660 = 32640

Q:

How many 6-digit even numbers can be formed from the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 so that the digits should not repeat and the second last digit is even ?

A) 521 B) 720
C) 420 D) 225
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 720

Explanation:

Let last digit is 2
when second last digit is 4 remaining 4 digits can be filled in 120 ways, similarly second last digit is 6 remained 4 digits can be filled in 120 ways.
so for last digit = 2, total numbers=240

 

Similarly for 4 and 6
When last digit = 4, total no. of ways =240
and last digit = 6, total no. of ways =240
so total of 720 even numbers are possible.
