Exercise 3.6
1.Find the value of
Answer-Here n=15, r=4
as,
=1365
b)
Answer- n=80 ,n=2
as,
=
=40.79
=3260
Answer-
As,
So, n=15, r=4
d)
Answer-
=19.6.17.2
=3876
3.Find r if
a)
Answer-
=
4. Find n and r if
a) and
Answer-
....(ii)
dividing by (i) and (ii)
r!=6
so r=3
b)
Answer-
As,
=
=
=
35r=20(n-r+1)
11r-4n=4 .....(i)
now,
=
=
=
42(r+1)=35(n-r)
42r+42=35n-35r
11r-5n=-6 ....(ii)
So, 11r-4n=4
11r-5n=-6
solving above equation we get the value of n=10
and now substituting the value of n= 10 in eq (i) we get,
11r-5(10)=-6
11r=44
r=4 and n=10
7.Find the number of ways of drawing 9 balls from a bag that has 6 red balls 8 green balls and 7 blue was so that three balls of every colour are drawn.
Answer-
Total number ways of balls=8+5+7=18
Number of red balls=6
Number of green balls=5
Number of blue balls=7
9 balls are to be drawn 3 of each colour,
No. of ways of drawing 3 red balls of 6 red balls=
similarly 3 green balls out of 5 geen balls=
3 blue ball out of 7 blue balls=
\therefore =
=
=7000
8.It. find the number of ways of selecting a team of 3 boys and 2 girls from 6 boys and 4 girls.
Answer-
there are 6 boys and 4 girls
we have to select 3 boys out of 6 boys=
we have to select 2 girls out of 4 girls=
total number of ways
=
9. After meeting every participant shake hands with every other participant. If the number of handshakes is 66 find the number of participants in the meeting.
Answer-
Let there be n participants present in the meeting.
A handshake occurs between 2 persons.
∴ Number of handshakes = nC2.
Given 66 handshakes were exchanged.
∴ 66 = nC2
∴ 66 =
∴ 66 × 2 =
∴ 132 = n(n – 1)
∴ n(n – 1) = 12 × 11
Comparing on both sides, we get
n = 12
∴ 12 participants were present at the meeting.
10. If 20 points are marked on a circle how many chords can be drawn?
Answer-
There are 20 points on a circle.To draw a chord, 2 points are required.
∴ the number of chords that can be drawn through 20 points on the circle.
= 20C2
$=\frac{20!}{{2!18!}$
$=\frac{20×19×18!}{{2×1×18!}$
= 190.
10. If 20 points are marked on a circle how many chords can be drawn?
Answer-
There are 20 points on a circle.To draw a chord, 2 points are required.
∴ the number of chords that can be drawn through 20 points on the circle.
= 20C2
$=\frac{20!}{{2!18!}$
$=\frac{20×19×18!}{{2×1×18!}$
= 190.
11.find the number of diagonals of an n sided polygon. In particular, find the number of diagonals when.
a) n=10 b)n=15 c)n=12 d)n =8
Answer-
a)In an n-sided polygon, there are ‘n’ points and ‘n’ sides.
∴ Through ‘n’ points we can draw nC2 lines including sides.
∴ Number of diagonals in n sided polygon.
= nC2 – n .........(n = number of sides)
n = 10
nC2 – n = 10C2 – 10
= 45 – 10
= 35
b)There are n vertices in the polygon of n-sides.
If we join any two vertices, we get either side or the diagonal of the polygon.
Two vertices can be joined in nC2 ways.
∴ total number of sides and diagonals = nC2 But there are n sides in the polygon.
∴ total number of the diagonals = nC2 – n
n = 15 sides
∴ the number of diagonal that can be drawn.
= 15C2 – 15
=
=15×142-15
= 105 – 15
= 90
c)In an n-sided polygon, there are ‘n’ points and ‘n’ sides.
∴ Through ‘n’ points we can draw nC2 lines including sides.
∴ Number of diagonals in n sided polygon.
= nC2 – n ...(n = number of sides)
n = 12,
nC2 – n = 12C2 – 121
= 66 – 12
= 54
d)There are n vertices in the polygon of n-sides.
If we join any two vertices, we get either side or the diagonal of the polygon.
Two vertices can be joined in nC2 ways.
∴ total number of sides and diagonals = nC2
But there are n sides in the polygon.
∴ total number of the diagonals = nC2 – n
n = 8 sides
∴ the number of diagonals that can be drawn
12.There are 20 straight lines in a plane so that no two lines are parallel and no three lines are concurrent. Determine the number of points of intersection.
Answer-
There are 20 lines such that no two of them are parallel and no three of them are concurrent.
Since no two lines are parallel
∴ they intersect at a point
∴ Number of points of intersection if no two lines are parallel and no three lines are concurrent.
= 20C2
= 190
13.10 points are plotted on a plane. Find the number of straight lines obtained by joining these points if
A)no three points are collinear.
B) four points are collinear.
Answer-
A )line is drawn by joining 2 points from the given 10 points.
∴ number of straight lines= 10C2
=
= 45, if no three points are collinear.
B) when four points are collinear then the total number of lines= 10C2 but it contains lines using that 4 collinear points make only one line
lines using 4 points = 4C2
No. of ways is 4 points are collinear = 10C2 - 4C2 +1
= 45 - +1
=46- 6
=40
14.Find the number of triangles formed by joining 12 points if a) no three points are collinear
b) 4 points are collinear.
Answer-
a)A triangle can be formed by selecting 3 non-collinear points
3 points be selected from 12 points
=220 ways
b)There are 12 points on the plane
when 4 of these points are collinear
number of triangles that can be from these points=
=220-
=220-4
=216
15. A word has three consonant 8 vowels. How many distinct words can be formed if 4 consonants and 2 vowels are use and?
Answer-
4 consonants can be selected from 8 consonants in ways 2 vowels can be selected from 3 vowels in
number of words with 4 consonants and 2 vowels
=
=
=70 3
=210
now, each of these 6 letters can be arranged in 6P6 ways=6!
total numbers can be formed 4 consonants and 2 vowels
=151200
16. Find n if,
(i) ^nC_8=^nC_{12}
Answer-
then either x=y or x=n-y
\therefore 12=n-8 \hspace{2cm} \because 12\neq 8
n=20
(ii)
Answer-
\because then either x=y or x=n-y
\therefore 3n=2n+3 or 3n+2n+3=23
or
\therefore or
(iii)
Answer-
then either
or
or
or
n=1 or n=5 or n=-8 or n=2
if n=5 then or \\
(iv)^{2n}C_{r-1}=^{2n}C_{r+1}
Answer-
then either x=y or x=n-y
\therefore r-1=r+1 or r-1=2n-r-1
\therefore r=1+1 or r-1+r+1=2n
\therefore r=2 or r=n
(v)
Answer-
=15
=15
n(n-1)=15.2
n(n-1)=30
n(n-1)=6.5
so, n=6

here n=13
=
=
=1716
so, here n=8
n=\frac{8}{2}=4
=70
the difference between
= and
=1716-70
=1646
(c) and
Answer-
the greatest value of

22. A group consists of 9 men and 6 women.A team of 6 is to be selected.How many possible selections will have atleast three women.
Answer-
There are 9 men and 6 women
will have 3 women atleast
=3W3M+4W2M+5W1M+6W no men
=
=1680+540+54+1
=2275
Therefore, 2275 can be formed if the team consist atleast 3 women
23. A committee of 10 person is to be formed from a group 10 women 8 men.How many possible committees will have at least five women? How many possible committee will have men in majority?
Answer-
There are 10 women and 8 men.
A committee of 10 persons is to be formed.If atleast 5 women have to be selected in a committee
so, possible selection are
5 Women 5 Men 6 Women 4 Men
7 Women 3 Men 8 Women 2 Men
9 Women 1 Men 10 Women 0 Men
the number of ways of forming committees such that at least 5 women are included
=252.56+210.70+120.56+45.28+80+1
=36873
Men in Majority
men in majority means 6,7,8
=
=5880+960+45
=6885

25.There are 5 wicket keepers and 5 bowlers among 22 cricket players. A team of 11 players is to be selected so that there is exactly one wicket keeper and atleast 4 bowlers in the team how many different teams can be formed.
Answer-
Among 22 players there are 3 wicketkeepers+5 bowlers=8players and the remaining 22-8=14 players batsmen.
i)1 wicketkeeper 4 bowlers 6 players
ii)1 wicketplayer 5 bowler 5 players
now, number of selection in
(i)+
=45045+6006
=51051
26.5 students are selected from 11 how many ways can the students be selected if\\
A) two specified students are selected?
B) to specified student are not selected?
Answer-
A)5 students are to be selected from 11 students
when 2 specified students are always together
then remaining student can be selected from 11-2=9 students
number of ways of selecting 3 students from 9 students
=
=
=84
selection is done in 84 ways when 2 specified students are included
B)Number of students is 11 we have to select 5 students
2 particular student are not selected
if two particular student are not selected then from remaining (11-2)=9 students, we have to select 5 students
This can be done^9C_5$ ways
total number of selections
=196
