Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : (10!/2!) - {(6!/2!) × 5!}

Given:

The given word is ANNELIDOUS

Calculation:

There are 10 letters in ANNELIDOUS in this, there are 5 vowels, that is A, E, I, O andU

Assume the (AEIOU) as the single object and the remaining letter or object is 5, now we have 6 objects

⇒ The arrangements of all 6 objects = 6!/2!

⇒ The arrangements of(AEIOU) = 5!

⇒ The number of arrangements all the vowels come together = (6!/2!) × 5!

All possible arrangements of 10 letters of wordANNELIDOUS = 10!/2!

⇒ The number of arrangments all the vowels do not come together =All possible arrangements - Number of arrangements all vowels come together

⇒ (10!/2!) - {(6!/2!) × 5!}

∴The number of arrangments all the vowels do not come together is(10!/2!) - {(6!/2!) × 5!}.

4.

Calculation:

RECORD

Total number of words = 6

Number of Repitition = 2 time R

Number of ways = Total number of word!/Number of Repitition!

⇒Number of ways = 6!/2!

⇒ (2! × 3 × 4 × 5× 6)/2! = 360

∴ The required answer will be 360.

5.

In how many ways can arrange the letters of the words ALLAHABAD?1. 30242. 50403. 75604. None of these

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 7560

Given:

The word ALLAHABAD

Formulaused:

When alphabets are repeated then we use this formula

The number of ways = n!/(p! q! r!)

n→ Total number of alphabets

p → First type repeated alphabets

q→ Second type repeated alphabets

r→ Third type repeated alphabets

Calculation:

In the word ALLAHABAD

n = 9→ total letters in ALLAHABAD

p = 4→ number of A's

q = 2→ number of L's

Put values inthe formula

⇒ The number ofarrangements = 9!/(4! × 2!)

⇒ The number ofarrangements = (9× 8× 7× 6× 5 × 4!)/{(2× 1)4!}

⇒ The number ofarrangements = (9× 8× 7× 6× 5 )/2

⇒ The number ofarrangements = 7560

∴ Word ALLAHABAD can arrange 7560 ways.

How many 4-digit numbers(without repetition) can be formed from the digits 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 which are divisible by 2?1. 2802. 1803. 3404. 4005. None of the above/More than one of the above.

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 180

Given:

The given digits are4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

Concept Used:

For a number to be even, its unit digit must be an even number.

Calculation:

According to the question,

The 4-digit numbers to be formed must be even numbers. For that to happen, the unit digit of the numbers must be even.

So, the units place can be filled by 4, 6, and 8 only i.e. there are three ways to fill the units place.

After filling units place, there are 5 digits left.

So, the 4thplacecan be filled in 5ways.

Similarly, the 3rd place and 2nd place can be filled in 4 and 3 ways respectively.

The number of 4-digit even numbers formed using digits4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 = (5× 4× 3) × 3

⇒ 180

∴ The number of 4-digit even numbers that can be formed from the digits 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 is 180.
