(Imp (Commerce) – 2011)
i) ‘FALIURE’ word has 7 letters in it, can be arranged in 7! Ways = 7.6.5.4.3.2.1 = 5040
ii)

A,E,I,U are vowels in the word, should be kept together, so should be treated as on block. Hence there are 4 such blocks can be arranged in 4! ways. These 4 vowels can be arranged in 4! Ways.
Hence the total words = 4! x 4! = 24 x 24 = 576

A: 4 times; L: 2 times.

Therefore r = 3.

### Plus One Maths Permutation and Combinations 6 Marks Important Questions

Question 1.
i) Find the value of n such that (MARCH-2010)
nP5 = 42 x nP3 for n > 4
ii) A committee of 3 persons is to be constituted from a group of 2 men and 3 women.
a) In how many ways can this be done?
b) How many of these committees would consist of 1 man and 2 women? (March (Science) – 2010)
i) nP5 = 42 x nP2
=> n(n – 1)(n – 2 )(n – 3)(n – 4) = 42 x n(n -1)(n- 2)
=> (n – 3)(n – 4) = 42
=>n2 – 7n + 12 = 42
=> n2 – 7n – 30 = 0
=> (n -10)(n + 3) = 0
=> n = 10; n = – 3
n can’t be negative, so the acceptable value is n = 10

iii) How many different ways, he can choose the questions so that question no.1 will be included and question no.10 will be excluded?
i) 8 out of 12 questions can be selected

ii) Since question no.1 is included, the possible is selection is from 11 questions and the number of questions to be selected becomes 7.
Hence the total selection

iii) Question no.10 will be excluded so total questions become 11. Question no.1 is included again total questions reduced to 10. Now we have to select 7 questions out of 10, can be done in 10C7 = 10C3 = $$\frac{10 \times 9 \times 8}{1 \times 2 \times 3}$$ = 120.
