    A. 12 B. 16 C. 20 D. 24


_ _ 5
first two places can be filled in 5 and 4 ways respectively so, total number of 3 digit number = 5 × 4 × 1 = 20

shape Q2

In how many different ways can the letter of the word ELEPHANT be arranged so that vowels always occur together?
    A. 2060 B. 2160 C. 2260 D. 2360


Vowels = E, E and A. They can be arranged in [latex](\frac {3!}{2!})[/latex] Ways
so total ways = 6![latex] \times (\frac {3!}{2!})[/latex] = 2160

shape Q3

There are 4 bananas, 7 apples and 6 mangoes in a fruit basket. In how many ways can a person make a selection of fruits from the basket.
    A. 269 B. 280 C. 279 D. 256


Zero or more bananas can be selected in 4 + 1 = 5 ways (0 orange, 1 orange, 2 orange, 3 orange and 4 orange)
Similarly apples can be selected in 7 + 1 = 8 ways
And mangoes in 6 + 1 = 7 ways
So total number of ways = 5 × 8 × 7 = 280
But we included a case of 0 orange, 0 apple and 0 mangoes, so we have to subtract this, so 280 – 1 = 279 ways

shape Q4

There are 15 points in a plane out of which 6 are collinear. Find the number of lines that can be formed from 15 points.
    A. 105 B. 90 C. 91 D. 95


From 15 points number of lines formed = [latex]^{15}{C}_{2}[/latex]
6 points are collinear, number of lines formed by these = [latex]^{6}{C}_{2}[/latex]
So total lines = [latex]^{15}{C}_{2} – ^{15}{C}_{2}[/latex] + 1 = 91

shape Q5

In how many ways 4 Indians, 5 Africans and 7 Japanese be seated in a row so that all person of same nationality sits together
    A. 4! 5! 7! 3! B. 4! 5! 7! 5! C. 4! 6! 7! 3! D. Can’t be determined


4 Indians can be seated together in 4! Ways, similarly for Africans and Japanese in 5! and 7! respectively. So total ways = 4! 5! 7! 3!
