HINTS & SOLUTIONS

1. Answer (1) 7. Answer (3)

IEE E NNNDD P T Let the 3 selected numbers which are in A.P. are
a, b, c
8!  4!
Number of ways =
3!  3!  2! ac
So, b =
2
2. Answer (2)
 b I {from 1, 2, 3 ... 2n + 1}
N = 27 310 52
So 'a' and 'c' must be selected such that either both
= 2(23)2 (35)2 (51)2
are even or both are odd.
Number of divisors = (4) (6) (2)
So number of ways of selection of numbers
= 48
n 1 n
C  C  n 2  441  n = 21
3. Answer (3) 2 2
both are odd both are even

and divisors of 21 are 1, 3, 7, 21
N = number of words in–number of words
Sum = 1 + 3 + 7 + 21 = 32

The digits are 0, 1, 2, 3, ... 9 (10 digits)

4. Answer (1) Consonants = R, G, M, N, T = 5

Required number of ways Vowels = A U E = 3

= 7C2 6 ! = 3 7!

Total = 8 letters
5. Answer (3)
Now 2 ends to be filled by 5 consonants by 5P2
Required number of arrangements ways and remaining 6 places can filled by

= 5!5! remaining 6 letters by 6 ways

6. Answer (1)
So total number of ways = 5 P2  6 = 20 × 720
Required number of ways

= 9C2 – 7C2 = 36 – 21 = 15 = 14400

10. Answer (4) The number of ways for boys = 3  2 = 12

Total number of boys = 5

Total number of girls = 4 The number of ways for girls = 4 = 24

11. Answer (1)

The number which is divisible by 4t must have the

number formed by last two digits divisible by 4.

So the last two digits may be (12, 16, 28, 32, 36,
68, 92 or 96) = 8 pairs

So the total number = 8  ( 4C3  3)  192
