12 persons are to be arranged to a round table. If two particular persons among them are not to be side by side, the total number of arrangements is?

Required no. of words = ¹²P₄ x ⁴P₃
= 12 x 11 x 10 x 9 x 4 x 3 x 2
= 120(100 - 1) x 24
= 288000 - 2880
= 285120

Required no. of triangles = ¹²C₃ - ⁷C₃ = 185

Total number of books = a + 2b + 3c + d . Since there are 'b' copies of each of two books, 'c' copies of each of three books and single copy of 'd' book.
Therefore, the total number of arrangements is = (a + 2b + 3c + d )! / {a! (b!)² (c!)³}

Required number of lines = ⁿC₂
= ¹⁵C₂
= (15 x 14)/2
= 105

Total number of handshakes = 12 x 12 = 144

Required number of ways = (2 + 1) (3 + 1) (4 + 1) - 1 = 59

We have 9 letters 3 a's, 2 b's and 4 c's. These 9 letters can be arranged in 9! / (3! 2! 4!) = 1260 ways.

ⁿC_{r - 1} = 36, ⁿC_r = 84 and ⁿC_{r + 1} = 126
? ⁿC_r / ⁿC_{r - 1} = 84/36
? 3n - 10r + 3 = 0 ....(i)

ⁿC_{r + 1} / ⁿC_r = 126/84
? 2n - 5r - 3 = 0 .............(ii)

From (i) and (ii) r = 3, n = 9

³⁵C_{n + 7} = ³⁵C_{4n - 2}
We know that if ⁿC_x = ⁿC_y then, Either x = y or x + y = n

Case 1: x + y = n
? n + 7 + 4n - 2 = 35
? 5n + 5 = 35
? 5n = 30
? n = 6

Case 2: x = y
? n + 7 = 4n - 2
? 4n - n = 2 + 7
? 3n = 9
? n = 3

We have If ^{2n + 1}P_{n - 1} / ^{2n - 1}P_n = 3/5
? 5 x ^{2n + 1}P_{n - 1} = 3 x ^{2n - 1}P_n
? {5 x (2n + 1)!} / {(n + 2 )!} = 3 x {(2n - 1)!} / {(n - 1)!}
? 10(2n + 1) = 3(n + 2) (n + 1)
? 3n² - 11n - 4 = 0
?(3n + 1 ) (n - 4) = 0
? n = 4
