A 2

B 7

C 8

D 6
Solution

Number of cubes obtained from one face which are painted on only one side = (n - 2)2

No. of cubes which are unpainted = (n - 2)3

(n - 2)2 × 6 = (n - 2)3

⇒n-2=6

⇒n=8

Q2: The number of ways of painting the six faces of a cube

with six different given colours is

A 1

B 720

C 30

D 15
Solution

First paint any colour on any face.

Now the opposite face can be painted in 5 ways (with anyone of the remaining 5 colours).

Now, the remaining 4 faces can be painted with the remaining 4 colour in (4 - 1)! Ways.
(circular permutations)

∴ Required no. of ways = 5 × (4 - 1)! = 30 ways.

& no three are concurrent. How many triangles can be
formed with their point of intersection as vertices.

A 2996

B 3276

C 3456

D None of these
Solution

When two lines intersect, we get one point of intersection

⸫ Total points when 8 lines intersect = 8C2 = 28

Every line will be intersected by 7 other lines, so on every line you will get 7
points of intersection which are obviously collinear, being on a line

⸫ Number of triangles = 28C3 - 8(7C3) = 3276 - 280 = 2996

Q14: The number of triangles with integer sides where no

side exceeds 2008, such that atleast two sides are equal, is

A (1004)2 if equal sides do not exceed 1004

B 2(1004)2 if equal sides exceed 1004

3(1004)2 if equal side have any

C length ≤ 2008

(2008)2 if equal sides have any

D length ≤ 2008
Solution

If the sides are a, a, b then the triangle forms only when 2a > b.
So for any a ∈ N, b can change from 1 to 2a - 1
when a ≤ 1004 then,
The number of triangles = 1 + 3 + 5 + … + (2(1004)-1) = (1004)2
and if 1005 ≤ a ≤ 2008, b can take any value from 1 to 2008,
but a has 1004 possibilities
hence number of triangles = 1004 × 2008 = 2(1004)2
∴ Total number of isosceles triangles = 3(1004)2
