Find the number of positive integers greater than 6000 and less than 7000 which are divisible by 5 , provided that no digit is to be repeated.
We know that a number is divisible by 5 , If at the units place of the number is 0 or 5 . We have to form 4 -digit number which is greater than 6000 and less than 7000 . So, unit digit can be filled in 2 ways.
Since, repeatition is not allowed. Therefore, tens place can be filled in 7 ways, similarily hundreds place can be filled in 8 ways.
But we have to form a number greater than 6000 and less than 7000 .
Hence, thousand place can be filled in only 1 ways.
6 | 8 | 7 | 2 |
Total number of integers
$=1\times8\times7\times2$
$=14\times8=112$
There are 10 persons named $P_1, P_2, P_3, \ldots, P_{10}$. Out of 10 persons, 5 persons are to be arranged in a line such that in each arrangement $P_1$ must occur whereas $P_4$ and $P_5$ do not occur. Find the number of such possible arrangements.
Given that, $P_1, P_2, \ldots, P_{10}$, are 10 persons, out of which 5 persons are to be arranged but $P_1$ must occur whereas $P_4$ and $P_5$ never occur.
$\therefore$ Selection depends on only $10-3=7$ persons
As, we have already occur $P_1$, Therefore, we have to select only 4 persons out of 7 .
Number of selection $={ }^7 C_4=\frac{7!}{4!(7-4)!}=\frac{7!}{4!3!}=\frac{5040}{24 \times 6}=35$
$\therefore$ Required number of arrangement of 5 persons $=35 \times 5!=35 \times 120=4200$
There are 10 lamps in a hall. Each one of them can be switched on independently. Find the number of ways in which the hall can be illuminated.
$$\begin{aligned} \text { Total number of ways } & ={ }^{10} \mathrm{C}_1+{ }^{10} \mathrm{C}_2+{ }^{10} \mathrm{C}_3+{ }^{10} \mathrm{C}_4+{ }^{10} \mathrm{C}_5+{ }^{10} \mathrm{C}_6+\ldots+{ }^{10} \mathrm{C}_{10} \\ & =2^{10}-1 \quad [\because \quad ^nC_0+^nC_1+^nC_2+...=2^n]\\ & =1024-1=1023 \end{aligned}$$
A box contains two white, three black and four red balls. In how many ways can three balls be drawn from the box, if atleast one black ball is to be included in the draw?
There are 2 white, three black and four red balls.
We have to draw 3 balls, out of these 9 balls in which atleast one black ball is included. Hence, we can select the balls in the following ways.
Black balls | 1 | 2 | 3 |
---|---|---|---|
Other than black | 2 | 1 | 0 |
$$\begin{aligned} \therefore \text { Required number of selections } & ={ }^3 \mathrm{C}_1 \times{ }^6 \mathrm{C}_2+{ }^3 \mathrm{C}_2 \times{ }^6 \mathrm{C}_1+{ }^3 \mathrm{C}_3 \times{ }^6 \mathrm{C}_0 \\ & =3 \times 15+3 \times 6+1 \\ & =45+18+1=64 \end{aligned}$$
If ${ }^n C_{r-1}=36,{ }^n C_r=84$ and ${ }^n C_{r+1}=126$, then find the value of ${ }^r C_2$.
$$\begin{array}{lr} \text { Given, } & { }^n C_{r-1}=36 \quad \text{... (i)}\\ \Rightarrow & { }^n C_r=84 \quad \text{... (ii)}\\ \Rightarrow & { }^n C_{r+1}=126 \quad \text{... (iii)} \end{array}$$
On dividing Eq. (i) by Eq. (ii), we get
$\frac{{ }^n C_{r-1}}{{ }^n C_r}=\frac{36}{84} \quad\left[\begin{array}{l}\because{ }^n C_r=\frac{n!}{(n-r!r!)} \\ \text { and } n!=n(n-1)!\end{array}\right]$
$$\begin{array}{ll} \Rightarrow & \frac{n!}{(r-1)!\{n-(r-1)\}!} \cdot \frac{r!(n-r)!}{n!}=\frac{3}{7} \\ \Rightarrow & \frac{1}{(r-1)!(n-r+1)!} \cdot \frac{r(r-1)!(n-r)!}{1}=\frac{3}{7} \\ \Rightarrow & \frac{1 \cdot r}{(n-r+1)(n-r)!} \cdot(n-r)!=\frac{3}{7} \Rightarrow \frac{r}{n-r+1}=\frac{3}{7} \\ \Rightarrow & 7 r=3 n-3 r+3 \\ \Rightarrow & 10 r-3 n=3\quad \text{(iv)} \end{array}$$
On dividing Eq. (ii) by Eq. (iii), we get
$$\begin{array}{rlrl} & \frac{{ }^n C_r}{{ }^n C_{r+1}} =\frac{84}{126} \\ \Rightarrow & \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!} \cdot \frac{(r+1)!(n-r-1)!}{n!} =\frac{14}{21} \\ \Rightarrow & \frac{1}{r!(n-r)!(n-r-1)!} \cdot \frac{(r+1) r!(n-r-1)!}{r} =\frac{2}{3} \Rightarrow \frac{r+1}{n-r}=\frac{2}{3} \\ \Rightarrow & 3 r+3=2 n-2 r \Rightarrow \quad 2 n-5 r=3\quad \text{... (v)} \end{array}$$
On multiplying Eq. (iv) by 2 and Eq. (v) by 3, we get
$$\begin{aligned} & 20 r-6 n=6 \quad \text{... (vi)}\\ & 6 n-15 r=9\quad \text{... (vii)} \end{aligned}$$
On adding Eqs. (vi) and (vii),
From Eq. (v),
$$\begin{aligned} 5 r & =15 \quad \Rightarrow \quad r=3 \\ 2 n & =3+15 \\ 2 n & =18 \quad \Rightarrow \quad n=9 \end{aligned}$$
$$\therefore \quad \quad{ }^r C_2={ }^3 C_2=\frac{3!}{2!1!} \quad=\frac{3 \times 2!}{2!}=3$$
