There are 10 questions in a question paper. In how many ways, a student can solve there questions, if he solves one or more question?

The required number of combinations, when one fruit of each kind is taken
= ⁵C₁ x ⁴C₁ x ³C₁ = 5 x 4 x 3 = 60

Here, order is important, then the number of ways in which 12 different balls can be divided between two boys who receives 5 and 7 balls respectively, is = [12! / 5! 7! ] x 2! = 1584

Required number of straight lines
=ⁿC₂ - ^mC₂ + 1

Here, n = 10, m = 5
= ¹⁰C₂ - ⁵C₂ + 1
= 45 - 10 + 1 = 36

Hexagon has 6 sides .
? n = 6
? Required number of diagonals = ¹⁰C₂ - n
= ⁶C₂ - 6
= 6! / [2!(6 - 2)!] - 6 = 6! / (2!4!) - 6
= (6 x 5 x 4!) / (2 x 4!) - 6
= 15 - 6
= 9

Required number of triangles = ¹²C₃ = (12 x 11 x 10) / 6 = 220

Number of ways in which 8 persons can be selected from 15 persons = ¹⁵C₈
Now, 8 persons can be seated around a circular table in 7! ways.
Now, remaining 7 persons can be seated around a circular table in 6! ways.
? Required number of ways = ¹⁵C₈ x 7! x 6!

When O and A occupy end places. Then, the three letters (M, E, G) can be arranged themselves by 3! = 6 ways and two letters (O, A) can be arranged among themselves in 2! = 2 ways.
? Total number of ways = 6 x 2 = 12

When E is fixed in the middle, then there are four places left to be filled by four remaining letters O, M, G and A and this can be done in 4! ways.
? Total number of ways = 4! = 24

Three vowels (O, E, A) can be arranged in the odd places in 3! ways (1st position, 3rd position, 5th position) and two consonant (M, G) can be arranged in the even place in 2! ways (2nd place and 4th place).
? Total number of ways = 3! X 2! = 12

Total number of words = 5! = 120
combining the vowels at one place(OEA) with remaining 2 letters MG, letters can be arranged in 3! ways. Also, three vowels can be arranged in 3! ways
So, when vowels are together, then number of words = 3! x 3! = 36
there4; Required number of ways, when vowels being never together =120 - 36 = 84
