The work done by (x + 2) men in (x - 3) days and work done by x men in (x - 2) days are equal. Find the value of x.?

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.

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

The hundred place will be reserved for 3 or 2
5 digits are free to fill rest two places i,e., of tens and unit.

Number of required 3 digit number = 2 x ⁵C₂ = 20

Required no. of ways = [⁴C₁ x ⁶C₃] + [⁴C₂ x ⁶C₂] + [⁴C₃ x ⁶C₁] + [⁴C₄]
= 80 + 90 + 24 + 1 = 195.

If there were no three points collinear. We should have ¹⁰C₂ lines but since 7 points are collinear we must subtract ⁷C₂ lines and add the one corresponding to the line of collinearity of the seven points.
Thus, the required number of straight lines .
= ¹⁰C₂ - ⁷C₂ + 1 = 25

Let there be n persons in the room. The total number of hand shakes is same as the number of ways of selecting 2 out of n.
ⁿC₂ = 66
? n(n - 1) / 2! = 66
? n² - n - 132 = 0
? (n - 12) (n + 11) = 0
? n = 12

Taping all vowels (IEO) as a single letter (since they come together ) there are six letters with two 'R' s
Hence no. of arrangement = 6!/2! x 3! = 2160
[3 vowels can be arranged in 3! ways among themselves, here multiplied with 3!. ]

Possible arrangements are 7!/2! 2! = 1260
[Division by 2 times 2! is because of the repletion of E and R .]
