Correct Answer: 1024
Explanation:
First letter can be posted in 4 letter boxes in 4 ways. Similarly second letter can be posted in 4 letter boxes in 4 ways and so on.
Hence all the 5 letters can be posted in = 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 = 1024
Correct Answer: 2880
Explanation:
There are total 9 places out of which 4 are even and rest 5 places are odd.
4 women can be arranged at 4 even places in 4! ways.
and 5 men can be placed in remaining 5 places in 5! ways.
Hence, the required number of permutations = 4! x 5! = 24 x 120 = 2880
Correct Answer: Can't determine
Explanation:
NUMERICAL has 9 positions in which 2, 4, 6, 8 are even positions.
And it contains 5 consonents i.e, N, M, R, C & L. Hence this cannot be done as 5 letters cannot be placed in 4 positions.
Therefore, Can't be determined.
Correct Answer: 3600
Explanation:
Given word is THERAPY.
Number of letters in the given word = 7
These 7 letters can be arranged in 7! ways.
Number of vowels in the given word = 2 (E, A)
The number of ways of arrangement in which vowels come together is 6! x 2! ways
Hence, the required number of ways can the letters of the word 'THERAPY' be arranged so that the vowels never come together = 7! - (6! x 2!) ways = 5040 - 1440 = 3600 ways.
Correct Answer: 450

100?s place can be filled in 9 different ways
There fore total number of ways = 5X10X9 = 450
Correct Answer: 360
Explanation:
We have to find number of permutations of 4 objects out of 6 objects.
This number is = 360
Therefore, cards can be sent in 360 ways.
Correct Answer: 729
Explanation:
Choose 5 starters from a team of 12 players. Order is not important.
= 729
Correct Answer: 190

Number of positive integral solutions = = = 190
Correct Answer: 1/221
Explanation:
Total Combination of getting a card from 52 cards =
Because there is no replacement, so number of cards after getting first card= 51
Now, Combination of getting an another card=
Total combination of getting 2 cards from 52 cards without replacement= (
)
There are total 4 Ace in stack. Combination of getting 1 Ace is =
Because there is no replacement, So number of cards after getting first Ace = 3
Combination of getting an another Ace =
Total Combination of getting 2 Ace without replacement=
Now,Probability of getting 2 cards which are Ace = = 1/221.
