In an examination, the maximum marks for each of three subjects is $n$ and that for the fourth subject is $2 n$. The number of ways in which candidates can get $3 n$ marks is
A.
$\frac{1}{6}(n+1)^2\left(5 n^2+10 n+6\right)^2$
B.
$\frac{1}{6}(n+1)\left(5 n^2+10 n+6\right)^2$
C.
$\frac{1}{6}(n+1)^2\left(5 n^2+10 n+6\right)$
D.
$\frac{1}{6}(n+1)\left(5 n^2+10 n+6\right)$
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
Total marks $=$ Marks for first 3 papers + Marks for fourth paper $=3 n+2 n=5 n$
Candidate needs to get $3 n$ marks.
Let $x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4$ be the marks of candidate in I, II, III and IV paper, respectively.
If a set $A$ has $m$-elements and the set $B$ has $n$-elements, then the number of injections from $A$ to $B$ is
A.
${ }^n C_m$ if $n \geq m$
B.
${ }^n P_m$ if $n \geq m$
C.
0 if $n \geq m$
D.
$m \cdot{ }^n C_m$ if $n \geq m$
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
If set $ A $ contains $ m $ elements and set $ B $ comprises $ n $ elements, the number of injections from $ A $ to $ B $ can be defined as follows:
$ \left\{ \begin{array}{cc} 0, & \text{if } n < m \\ {}^n P_m, & \text{if } n \geq m \end{array} \right. $
This means that if the number of elements in set $ B $ is less than the number in set $ A $ ($ n < m $), there are no injections possible. Conversely, if $ n \geq m $, the number of injections is given by the permutation notation $ {}^n P_m $.
The total number of permutations of $n$ different things taken not more than $r$ at a time, when each thing may be repeated any number of times is
A.
$\frac{n\left(n^{\prime}+1-1\right)}{n-1}$
B.
$\frac{n^{r+1}-1}{n-1}$
C.
$\frac{n\left(n^{\prime}-1\right)}{n-1}$
D.
$\frac{\left(n^{\prime}-1\right)}{n-1}$
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
Total number of things $=n$
Repetition of things is allowed and atmost $r$ can be taken at a time.
The number of ways of taking 1 thing at a time $=n$
The number of ways of taking 2 things at a time $=n^2$
The number of ways of taking 3 things at a time $=n^3$ ..........
The number of ways of taking $r$ things at a time $=n^3$
Total number of permutations of $n$ different things taken not more than $r$ at a time i.e. number of permutations of taking $1,2, \ldots ., r$ at a time.
A person writes letters to 6 friends and addresses the corresponding envelopes. In how many ways can the letters be placed in the envelopes so that at least two of them are in the wrong envelopes?
Notation $D_n=n!\left(\sum_\limits{i=0}^n \frac{(-1)^i}{i!}\right)$
A.
${ }^6 C_4 \cdot D_2$
B.
$\sum_\limits{r=3}^6{ }^6 C_{6-r} \cdot D_r$
C.
$\sum_\limits{r=2}^6{ }^6 C_{6-r} \cdot D_r$
D.
${ }^6 C_1 D_5+{ }^6 C_0 \cdot D_6$
Correct Answer: C

Explanation:
3n type $\to$ 3, 6, 9 = P
3n $-$ 1 type $\to$ 2, 5 = Q
3n $-$ 2 type $\to$ 1, 4 = R
number of subset of S containing one element which are not divisible by 3 = ${}^2$C1 + ${}^2$C1 = 4
number of subset of S containing two numbers whose some is not divisible by 3

A number is called a palindrome if it reads the same backward as well as forward. For example 285582 is a six digit palindrome. The number of six digit palindromes, which are divisible by 55, is ____________.
Correct Answer: 100
Explanation:
5
a
b
b
a
5
For divisible by 55 it shall be divisible by 11 and 5
both, for divisibility by 5 unit digit shall be 0 or 5 but
as the number is six digit palindrome unit digit is 5.
A number is divisible by 11 if the difference between sum of the digits in the odd places and the sum of the digits in the even places is a multiple of 11 or zero.
Sum of the digits in the even place = a + b + 5
Sum of the digits in the odd places = a + b + 5
Difference between the two sums = (a + b + 5 ) - (a + b + 5) = 0
0 is divisible by 11.
Hence, 5abba5 is divisible by 11.
So, required number = 10 $\times$ 10 = 100

The total number of numbers, lying between 100 and 1000 that can be formed with the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, if the repetition of digits is not allowed and numbers are divisible by either 3 or 5, is _____________.
Correct Answer: 32
Explanation:
The numbers are lying between 100 and 1000
then each number is of three digits.
The possible combination of numbers which are divisible by 3 are 1, 2,
3; 3, 4, 5; 1, 3, 5 and 2, 3, 4.
(If sum of digits of a number is divisible by 3 then the number is divisible by 3)
$ \therefore $ Total number of numbers = 4 × 3! = 24
The possible combination of numbers divisible by 5 are 1, 2, 5; 2, 3, 5; 3, 4, 5; 1, 3, 5;
1, 4, 5 and 2, 4, 5.
(If the last digit of a number is 0 or 5 then the number is divisible by 5)
$ \therefore $ Total number of numbers = 6 × 2! = 12
The possible combination of number divisible by both 3 and 5 are 1, 3, 5 and 3, 4, 5.
$ \therefore $ Total number of numbers = 2 $ \times $ 2! = 4
$ \therefore $ Total required number = 24 + 12 - 4 = 32

Explanation:
y + z = 5 ....... (1)
${1 \over y} + {1 \over z} = {5 \over 6}$
$ \Rightarrow {{y + z} \over {yz}} = {5 \over 6}$
$ \Rightarrow {5 \over {yz}} = {5 \over 6}$
$ \Rightarrow $ yz = 6
Also, (y $-$ z)2 = (y + z)2 $-$ 4yz
$ \Rightarrow $ (y $-$ z)2 = (y + z)2 $-$ 4yz
$ \Rightarrow $ (y $-$ z)2 = 25 $-$ 4(6) = 1
