formed from the letters of the word DAUGHTER?

Ans. There are 8 letters in the word DAUGHTER. In this word 3 vowels and 5 consonants. 2
vowels and 3 consonants are to be selected.

Number of ways of selection = = = = 30

Now, each word contains 5 letters which can be arranged among themselves 5! Ways.

Therefore, total number of words = = 3600

2. How many words, with or without meaning can be formed using all the letters of the
word EQUATION at a time so that the vowels and consonants occur together?

Ans. There are 8 letters in the word EQUATION. In this word 5 vowels and 3 consonants.

Now, 5 vowels can be arranged in 5! Ways and 3 consonants can be arranged in 3! Ways.

Also the groups of vowels and consonants can be arranged in 2! Ways.

Total number of permutations = = = 1440

3. A committee of 7 has to be formed from 9 boys and 4 girls. In how many ways can this
be done when the committee consists of:

(i) exactly 3 girls

(ii) at least 3 girls

Material downloaded from myCBSEguide.com. 1 / 5


Ans. (i) There are 9 boys and 4 girls. 3 girls and 4 boys have to be selected.

Number of ways of selection = =

= = 504

(ii) We have to select at least 3 girls. So the committee consists of 3 girls and 4 boys or 4 girls
and 3 boys.

Number of ways of selection =

= 504 + 84 = 588

(iii) We have to select at most 3 girls. So the committee consists of no girls and 7 boys or 1
girl and 6 boys or 2 girls and 5 boys or 3 girls and 4 boys.

Number of ways of selection =

= 36 + 336 + 756 + 504 = 1632

4. If the different permutations of all the letters of the word EXAMINATION are listed
as in a dictionary, how many words are there in this list before the first word starting

with E?

Ans. In the word EXAMINATION, There are 11 letters, two A's two I’s and two N’s and all
other letters are different.

In Dictonary list, before E only A out of these letters can come.

After Fixing A as first letter, 10 letter are remaining out of we have two I's And two N's

Number of ways of arrangement =

= = 907200

5. How many 6-digit numbers can be formed from the digits 0, 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 which are
divisible by 10 and no digits are repeated?

Ans. A number divisible by 10 have unit place digit 0. So digit 0 is fixed at unit place and the

a student select the questions?

Ans. Here, we have to select 8 questions at least 3 questions from each section. Therefore, we
have required selections are 3 from part I and 5 from part II or 4 from part I and 4 from part
II or 5 from part I and 3 from part II.

Number of ways of selection =

= = 210 + 175 + 35 = 420
