Quantity B: How many words having 3 consonants and 2 vowels can be formed out of 5 consonants and 4 vowels?1). Quantity A > Quantity B2). Quantity A < Quantity B3). Quantity A ≥ Quantity B4). Quantity A ≤ Quantity B

Answer»

Quantity A:

One book for bookshelf 1 can be selected in 7C1 ways.

Two books for bookshelf 2 can be selected in 6C2 ways.

REMAINING books = 4 and Remaining bookshelves = 3.

Out of these 4 books, 1st book can be PUT in any of these 3 bookshelves.

Similarly 2nd book can be put in any of these 3 bookshelves.

3rd book can be put in any of these 3 bookshelves.

4th book can be put in any of these 3 bookshelves.

∴ These 4 books can be arranged in 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 81 ways

∴ Required number of ways

7C1 × 6C2 × 81

=7 × 15 × 81 = 8505

Quantity B:

Number of ways to choose 3 consonants and 2 vowels out of 5 consonants and 4 vowels

= 5C3 × 4C2 = 10 × 6 = 60

Number of ways in which 5 LETTERS can be arranged = 5! = 120

∴ Required number of words = 60 × 120 = 7200

∴ Quantity A > Quantity B
