The occasion when I was successful When our teacher gave us an assignment to write a poem on nature, it was quite a difficult job for me.

As per his guidance I collected some words related to nature. Then I tried to weave the words in lines. I tried to match the rhymes also.

Somewhere it was quite easy, whereas somewhere it was a difficult job for me. At last, after a lot of efforts and trials, I was successful to write a poem based on ‘Nature’. It gave me immense pleasure and joy. When I read it in the class, I got good praise and applause from the teacher as well as from my classmates. It was really a memorable occasion for me.

(i) The first prize can be given to any of the four boys. Then, the second prize can be given to any of the three boys. Lastly, the third prize can be given to any one of the remaining 2 boys. 

∴ The number of ways in which all the 3 prizes can be given = 4 × 3 × 2 = 24. 

(ii) In this case, each of the three prizes can be given in 4 ways since a boy can receive any number of prizes. 

∴ The number of ways in which all the prizes can be given = 4 × 4 × 4 = 4³ = 64. 

(iii) Since anyone of the 4 boys can get all the prizes, therefore, the number of ways in which a boy gets all the 3 prizes = 4. 

∴ Number of ways in which a boy does not get all the prizes = 64 – 4 = 60.

The word contains 5 letters of which 2 are ‘I’s.

The number of words possible = \(\frac{5\times4\times3\times2\times1}{2\times1}\) = 60.

There are two a’s, two r’s in the word ‘arrange’, therefore the number of arrangements = \(\frac{7!}{2!2!}=1260.\)        ...(1) 

The number of arrangements in which the two r’s occur together = \(\frac{6!}{2!}\) = 360           ...(2) 

∴ The number of arrangements in which two r’s do not occur together = (1) – (2) = 1260 – 360 = 900.
