Question 1.
If nPr = 1680 and nCr = 70, find n and r.
Solution:
Given that nPr = 1680, nCr = 70
We know that nCr = $$\frac{n \mathrm{P}_{r}}{r !}$$
70 = $$\frac{1680}{r !}$$
r! = $$\frac{1680}{70}$$ = 24
r! = 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 4!
∴ r = 4

Question 2.
Verify that 8C4 + 8C3 = 9C4.
Solution:
LHS = 8C4 + 8C3
= $$\frac{8 \cdot 7 \cdot 6 \cdot 5}{4 \cdot 3 \cdot 2 \cdot 1}+\frac{8 \cdot 7 \cdot 6}{3 \cdot 2 \cdot 1}$$
= 7 × 2 × 5 + 8 × 7
= 70 + 56
= 126
RHS = 9C4
= $$\frac{9 \times 8 \times 7 \times 6}{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}$$
= 9 × 7 × 2
= 126
∴ LHS = RHS
Hence verified.

Question 3.
How many chords can be drawn through 21 points on a circle?
Solution:
To draw a chord we need two points on a circle.
∴ Number chords through 21 points on a circle = 21C2 = $$\frac{21 \times 20}{2 \times 1}$$ = 210.

Question 4.
How many triangles can be formed by joining the vertices of a hexagon?
Solution:
A hexagon has six vertices. By joining any three vertices of a hexagon we get a triangle.
∴ Number of triangles formed by joining the vertices of a hexagon = 6C3 = $$\frac{6 \times 5 \times 4}{3 \times 2 \times 1}$$ = 20.

Question 5.
Out of 7 consonants and 4 vowels, how many words of 3 consonants and 2 vowels can be formed?
Solution:
In this problem first, we have to select consonants and vowels.
Then we arrange a five-letter word using 3 consonants and 2 vowels.
Therefore here both combination and permutation involved.
The number of ways of selecting 3 consonants from 7 is 7C3.
The number of ways of selecting 2 vowels from 4 is 4C3.
The number of ways selecting 3 consonants from 7 and 2 vowels from 4 is 7C3 × 4C2.
Now with every selection number of ways of arranging 5 letter word
= 5! × 7C3 × 4C2
= 120 × $$\frac{7 \times 6 \times 5}{3 \times 2 \times 1} \times \frac{4 \times 3}{2 \times 1}$$
= 25200

Question 6.
If four dice are rolled, find the number of possible outcomes in which atleast one die shows 2.
Solution:
When a die is rolled number of possible outcomes is selecting an event from 6 events = 6C1
When four dice are rolled number of possible outcomes = 6C1 × 6C1 × 6C1 × 6C1
When a die is rolled number of possible outcomes in which ‘2’ does not appear is selecting an event from 5 events = 5C1
When four dice are rolled number of possible outcomes in which 2 does not appear = 5C1 × 5C1 × 5C1 × 5C1
Therefore the number of possible outcomes in which atleast one die shows 2
= 6C1 × 6C1 × 6C1 × 6C15C1 × 5C1 × 5C1 × 5C1
= 6 × 6 × 6 × 6 – 5 × 5 × 5 × 5
= 1296 – 625
= 671
Note: when two dice are rolled number of possible outcomes is 36 and the number of possible outcomes in which 2 doesn’t appear = 25. When two dice are rolled the number of possible outcomes in which atleast one die shows 2 = 36 – 25 = 11. Use the sample space, S = {(1, 1), (1, 2),… (6, 6)}.

Question 7.
There are 18 guests at a dinner party. They have to sit 9 guests on either side of a long table, three particular persons decide to sit on one side and two others on the other side. In how many ways can the guests to be seated?
Solution:
Let A and B be two sides of the table 9 guests sit on either side of the table in 9! × 9! ways.
Out of 18 guests, three particular persons decide to sit namely inside A and two on the other side B. remaining guest = 18 – 3 – 2 = 13.
From 13 guests we can select 6 more guests for side A and 7 for the side.
Selecting 6 guests from 13 can be done in 13C6 ways.
Therefore total number of ways the guest to be seated = 13C6 × 9! × 9!
= $$\frac{13 !}{6 !(13-6) !} \times 9 ! \times 9 !$$
= $$\frac{13 !}{6 ! \times 7 !} \times 9 ! \times 9 !$$

Question 8.
If a polygon has 44 diagonals, find the number of its sides.
Solution:
A polygon of n sides has n vertices. By joining any two vertices of a polygon, we obtain either a side or a diagonal of the polygon.
A number of line segments obtained by joining the vertices of a n sided polygon taken two at a time = Number of ways of selecting 2 out of n.
= nC2
= $$\frac{n(n-1)}{2}$$
Out of these lines, n lines are the sides of the polygon, Sides can’t be diagonals.
∴ Number of diagonals of the polygon = $$\frac{n(n-1)}{2}$$ – n = $$\frac{n(n-3)}{2}$$
Given that a polygon has 44 diagonals.
Let n be the number of sides of the polygon.
$$\frac{n(n-3)}{2}$$ = 44
⇒ n(n – 3) = 88
⇒ n2 – 3n – 88 = 0
⇒ (n + 8) (n – 11)
⇒ n = -8 (or) n = 11
n cannot be negative.
∴ n = 11 is number of sides of polygon is 11.

Question 9.
In how many ways can a cricket team of 11 players be chosen out of a batch of 15 players?
(i) There is no restriction on the selection.
(ii) A particular player is always chosen.
(iii) A particular player is never chosen.
Solution:
(i) Number of ways choosing 11 players from 15 is 15C11 = 15C4
= $$\frac{15 \times 14 \times 13 \times 12}{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}$$
= 15 × 7 × 13
= 1365.

(ii) If a particular is always chosen there will be only 14 players left put, in which 10 are to selected in 14C10 ways.
14C10 = 14C4
= $$\frac{14 \times 13 \times 12 \times 11}{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}$$
= $$\frac{14 \times 13 \times 11}{2}$$
= 91 × 11
= 1001 ways

(iii) If a particular player is never chosen we have to select 11 players out of remaining 14 players in 14C11 ways.
i.e., 14C3 ways = $$\frac{14 \times 13 \times 12}{3 \times 2 \times 1}$$ = 364 ways.

Question 10.
A committee of 5 is to be formed out of 6 gents and 4 ladies. In how many ways this can be done when
(i) atleast two ladies are included.
(ii) atmost two ladies are included.
Solution:
(i) A committee of 5 is to be formed.

(ii) Almost two ladies are included means maximum of two ladies are included.
