4. There are 10 true-false questions in an examination. The number of ways in which these questions can be
answered is
(A) 240 (B) 20 (C) 1024 (D) 100
Soln. (C)
Since there are 10 questions and each question can be answered in 2 ways, required number of ways = 210

5. The number of different words that can be formed from the letters of the word ‘PENCIL’ so that no two
vowels are together is
(A) 120 (B) 260 (C) 240 (D) 480
Soln. (D)
Total number of words with no two vowels together
= Total number of arrangements – Total number of words with vowels together
= 6!− 5! 2 = 480.
6. The number of distinct permutations of the letters of the word ‘STATISTICS’ that begin and end with the
letter S is
(A) 50400 (B) 25200 (C) 3360 (D) 1680
Soln. (C)
In the word STATISTICS, there are 2I’s, 3S’s, 3T’s and rest all are distinct.
Required is word starting and ending with S, the position of 2S’s are fixed at the extreme place. So,
8!
remaining 8 letters can be arranged in = 3360 ways.
2!3!
7. Numbers greater than 1000 but not greater than 4000 which can be formed with the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4
(repetition of digits is allowed, are
(A) 350 (B) 375 (C) 450 (D) 576
Soln. (B)
Numbers greater than 1000 and less than or equal to 4000 will be of 4 digits and will have either 1 (except
1000) or 2 or 3 in the first place with 0 in each of remaining places.
After fixing 1st place, the second place can be filled by any of the 5 numbers. Similarly, third place
can be filled up in 5 ways and 4th place can be filled up in 5 ways. Thus, there will be 5  5  5 = 125 ways
in which 1 will be in first place but this include 1000 also hence there will be 124 numbers having 1 in
the first place. Similarly, 125 for each 2 or 3. One number will be in which 4 in the first place and i.e.
4000. Hence the required numbers are 124 + 125 + 125 + 1 = 375 ways.
8. The number of numbers that can be formed with the help of the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2, 1 so that odd digits
always occupy odd places, is
(A) 24 (B) 18 (C) 12 (D) 30
Soln. (B)
4!
The 4 odd digits 1, 3, 3, 1 can be arranged in the 4 odd places in = 6 ways and 3 even digits 2, 4, 2
2!2!
3!
can be arranged in the three even places in = 3 ways. Hence the required number of ways = 6  3 = 18

9. How many words can be formed from the letters of the word COURTESY, whose first letter is C and the
last letter is Y
(A) 6 ! (B) 8! (C) 2(6) ! (D) 2(7) !
Soln. (A)
Since C and Y are fixed now remaining letters are 6 that can be arranged in 6 ! ways.

(A) 1 : 2 : 3 (B) 1 : 3 : 5 (C) 2 : 3 : 4 (D) 1 : 2 : 4
Soln. (A)
It is given that a, b, c are in A.P.  2b = a + c

and ( b − a ) , ( c − b ) , a are in G.P.

(c − b) = (b − a )a
2

 (b − a) = (b − a)a
2
 2b = a + c  b − a = c − b 
 b = 2a
 c = 3a  Using : 2b = a + c
 a : b : c =1 : 2 :3
11. If the first, second and last terms of an arithmetic series are a, b and c respectively, then the number of
terms is
b + c − 2a b + c + 2a b + c − 2a b + c + 2a
(A) (B) (C) (D)

Soln. (A)
Since, = A + ( n − 1) d
 c = a + ( n − 1)( b − a )

12. The sum of 11 terms of an A.P. whose middle term is 30, is
(A) 320 (B) 330 (C) 340 (D) 350
Soln. (B)
Let the first term and common difference of the A.P. be a and d respectively. Then,
Middle term = 30  6th term = 30  a + 5d = 30
Now,

(A) 26 (B) 27 (C) 28 (D) 29
Soln. (B)
Obviously
164 = (3m2 + 5m) − {3(m − 1)2 + 5(m − 1)}
= (3m2 + 5m) − 3m2 + 6m − 3 − 5m + 5
 164 = 6m + 2  m = 27 .

the series will be
(A) −2 (B) 2 (C) 1 (D) 1/2
Soln. (B)
Under given conditions, we get
a(r 6 − 1) a(r 3 − 1)
 = 9. ( r  1)
(r − 1) (r − 1)
 r 6 − 1 = 9r 3 − 9  (r 3 )2 − 9(r 3 ) + 8 = 0
 (r 3 − 1)(r 3 − 8) = 0
 r = 1, ω, ω2 and r = 2 . But r = 1, ω, ω2 cannot satisfy the given condition. Hence r = 2 .

For 200 − and to be integers, we must have

3 2
 r is multiple of 2 and 3 both and 0  r  600
 r is a multiple of 6 and 0  r  600
 r = 0, 6,12,, 600
