In how many ways can the letters of the word 'LEADER' be arranged?

Number of ways of selecting (3 consonants out of 7) and (2 vowels out of 4)

	= (7C3 x 4C2)
	= ❨ 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 ❩ 3 x 2 x 1 2 x 1
	= 210.

Number of groups, each having 3 consonants and 2 vowels = 210.

Each group contains 5 letters.

Number of ways of arranging 5 letters among themselves	= 5!
	= 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1
	= 120.

∴ Required number of ways = (210 x 120) = 25200.

We may have(1 black and 2 non-black) or (2 black and 1 non-black) or (3 black).

∴ Required number of ways	= (3C1 x 6C2) + (3C2 x 6C1) + (3C3)
	= ❨ 3 x 6 x 5 ❩ + ❨ 3 x 2 x 6 ❩ + 1 2 x 1 2 x 1
	= (45 + 18 + 1)
	= 64.

The word 'OPTICAL' contains 7 different letters.

When the vowels OIA are always together, they can be supposed to form one letter.

Then, we have to arrange the letters PTCL (OIA).

Now, 5 letters can be arranged in 5! = 120 ways.

The vowels (OIA) can be arranged among themselves in 3! = 6 ways.

∴ Required number of ways = (120 x 6) = 720.

Let original length = x metres and original breadth = y metres.

Original area = (xy) m².

New length =	❨	120	x	❩m	=	❨	6	x	❩m.
		100					5

New breadth =	❨	120	y	❩m	=	❨	6	y	❩m.
		100					5

New Area =	❨	6	x x	6	y	❩m2	=	❨	36	xy	❩m2.
		5		5					25

The difference between the original area = xy and new-area 36/25 xy is

= (36/25)xy - xy

= xy(36/25 - 1)

= xy(11/25) or (11/25)xy

∴ Increase % =	❨	11	xy x	1	x 100	❩%	= 44%.
		25		xy

Area to be plastered	= [2(l + b) x h] + (l x b)
	= {[2(25 + 12) x 6] + (25 x 12)} m2
	= (444 + 300) m2
	= 744 m2.

∴ Cost of plastering = Rs.	❨	744 x	75	❩	= Rs. 558.

There are 6 letters in the given word, out of which there are 3 vowels and 3 consonants.

Let us mark these positions as under:

(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6)

Now, 3 vowels can be placed at any of the three places out 4, marked 1, 3, 5.

Number of ways of arranging the vowels = ³P₃ = 3! = 6.

Also, the 3 consonants can be arranged at the remaining 3 positions.

Number of ways of these arrangements = ³P₃ = 3! = 6.

Total number of ways = (6 x 6) = 36.

The word 'LEADING' has 7 different letters.

When the vowels EAI are always together, they can be supposed to form one letter.

Then, we have to arrange the letters LNDG (EAI).

Now, 5 (4 + 1 = 5) letters can be arranged in 5! = 120 ways.

The vowels (EAI) can be arranged among themselves in 3! = 6 ways.

∴ Required number of ways = (120 x 6) = 720.

Required number of ways	= (8C5 x 10C6)
	= (8C3 x 10C4)
	= ❨ 8 x 7 x 6 x 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 ❩ 3 x 2 x 1 4 x 3 x 2 x 1
	= 11760.

In the word 'CORPORATION', we treat the vowels OOAIO as one letter.

Thus, we have CRPRTN (OOAIO).

This has 7 (6 + 1) letters of which R occurs 2 times and the rest are different.

Number of ways arranging these letters =	7!	= 2520.
	2!

Now, 5 vowels in which O occurs 3 times and the rest are different, can be arranged

in	5!	= 20 ways.
	3!

∴ Required number of ways = (2520 x 20) = 50400.

Since each desired number is divisible by 5, so we must have 5 at the unit place. So, there is 1 way of doing it.

The tens place can now be filled by any of the remaining 5 digits (2, 3, 6, 7, 9). So, there are 5 ways of filling the tens place.

The hundreds place can now be filled by any of the remaining 4 digits. So, there are 4 ways of filling it.

∴ Required number of numbers = (1 x 5 x 4) = 20.
