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.

Correct Answer: 729
Explanation:
Choose 5 starters from a team of 12 players. Order is not important.
= 729
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: 3439
Explanation:
The numbers 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 are 10 in number while preparing telephone numbers any number can be used any number of times.
This can be done in ways, but '0' is there
So, the numbers starting with '0' are to be excluded is numbers.

Explanation:
Let 'Y' be the youngest player.
The last song can be sung by any of the remaining 3 players. The first 3 players can sing the song in (3!) ways.
The required number of ways = 3(3!) = 4320.
Correct Answer: 24
Explanation:
Given word is SCOOTY
ATQ,
Except S & Y number of letters are 4(C 2O's T)
Hence, required number of arrangements = 4!/2! x 2! = 4!
= 4 x 3 x 2
= 24 ways.
Correct Answer: 64
Explanation:
Total number of balls = 2 + 3 + 4 = 9
Total number of ways 3 balls can be drawn from 9 = 9C3
No green ball is drawn = 9 - 3 = 6 = 6C3
Required number of ways if atleast one green ball is to be included = Total number of ways - No green ball is drawn
= 9C3 - 6C3
= 9x8x7/3x2 - 6x5x4/3x2
= 84 - 20
= 64 ways.
Correct Answer: 34
Explanation:
7 × 5 = 35
35 ? 1 = 34
Correct Answer: 10!/2
Explanation:
As A1 speaks always after A2, they can speak only in 1st to 9th places and
A2 can speak in 2nd to 10 the places only when A1 speaks in 1st place
A2 can speak in 9 places the remaining
A3, A4, A5,...A10 has no restriction. So, they can speak in 9.8! ways. i.e
when A2 speaks in the first place, the number of ways they can speak is 9.8!.
When A2 speaks in second place, the number of ways they can speak is 8.8!.
When A2 speaks in third place, the number of ways they can speak is 7.8!. When A2 speaks in the ninth place, the number of ways they can speak is 1.8!
Therefore,Total Number of ways they can speak = (9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1) 8! = = 10!/2
