A = 4− digit numbers divisible by 3

A = 1002, 1005, … , 9999 .

9999 = 1002 + (n − 1)3

⇒ (n − 1)3 = 8997 ⇒ n = 3000

B = 4 − digit numbers divisible by 7

B = 1001, 1008, … , 9996

A ∩ B = 1008, 1029, … , 9996

9996 = 1008 + (n − 1)21

So, no divisible by either 3 or 7

The given word is PUBLIC

Arranging the letters alphabetically, we get
BCILPU
When the word starts with any of the letters B/C/I/L, the number of possibilities= 5! × 4 = 480
Now when the word starts with PB, then the number of possibilities= 4! = 24
Now when the word starts with PC, then the number of possibilities = 4! = 24
Now when the word starts with PI, then the number of possibilities = 4! = 24
Now when the word starts with PL, then the number of possibilities = 4! = 24
Now when the word starts with PUBC, then the number of possibilities= 2! = 2
Now when the word starts with PUBI, then the number of possibilities = 2! = 2
Now when the word starts with PUBLC, then the number of possibilities= 1
Now when the word starts with PUBLIC, then the number of possibilities = 1
Rank = 480 + 24 × 4 + 2 × 2 + 1 × 2 = 582
Hence, rank of the work PUBLIC is 582.

There are 5 vowels in the given word which are 4E's & 1I .
Since they have to always occur together we take them as a single object E E E E I for the time being.
This single object together with 7 remaining object will account for 8 objects.
There 8 objects in which there are 3N 's & can be arrangement in ways.

Given,
7 boys and 5 girls are to be seated around a circular such that no two girls to be seated together,
Now we know that n objects can be arranged in a circle in (n − 1)! ways.
Let us first arrange 7 boys in circular arrangement in (7 − 1)! ways.
Now there will be 7 gaps.
So let us select any 5 gaps out of 7 gaps and arrange 5 girls in the chosen gaps. This can be done in 7

The word 'MATHEMATICS' consists of 11 letters including two M 's, two T 's and two A's,
Now, first we will arrange letters _M _A_T _H _E_M _A_T _I _ .
Here, we have 10 gaps to fill C & S .
The number of words with or without meaning can be formed from the word MATHEMATICS when C, S does not come together is

Hence this is the correct option.

Given,
The number 1, 2, 3, . . . . , 7
Now total numbers of 7 digit number will be 7! without repetition,
Now total numbers which contain string 154 will be 5!
Total numbers which contain string 2367 will be 4!
And number which contain both string 2367 & 154 will be 2
So, total number which does not contain string 154 or 2367 will be 7! −(5! + 4! − 2)
= 5040 −(120 + 24 − 2)

= 5040 − 142 = 4898

Hence this is the required answer.

Given,
Some couples participated in a mixed doubles badminton tournament. If the number of matches played, so that no couple played in a match, is 840,
Now Let total number of persons be 2n, so number of couples will be n
Now number of matches played, so that no couple played in a match is given by,
n n−2
⇒ C ⋅ C ⋅ 2 = 840
2 2

{as if we choose couple as {A, B} and other couple as {C, D} and taking other two couple as {x, y} & {w, z}, so the possible combination of the
match where no couple played in a match will be, {A, x}→{C, w} & {C, x}→{A, w} , hence there are two possible combination after choosing }
⇒ n(n − 1)(n − 2)(n − 3)= 5 ⋅ 6 ⋅ 7 ⋅ 8

So, n = 8
Hence, the number of persons will be, 2n = 16

Hence we have 3 ways.

Now the number of ways to distribute 8 persons such that they can travel in 3 cars with any car carrying maximum of persons is (

Given,
x + y + z = 15

Now we know that,

Non-negative integral solution of equation a + b + c = n is given by n+3−1
C
3−1
where a = b = c & a = b ≠ c are also possibilities
So by above formula we get,
Total number of non-negative solution will be, 15+3−1
C
3−1
=
17
C
2

Now solving If any of these 2 are equal

So, the equation will become x + 2y = 15
Now finding possible cases we get,
y = 0 x = 15

y = 1 x = 13

y = 2 x = 11

y = 3 x = 9

y = 4 x = 7

y = 5 x = 5 → x = y = z = 5

y = 6 x = 3

y = 7 x = 1

So, total possibilities where x, y & z are distinct will be,

17 3
= C − C × 8 + 2
2 2

{Note adding 2 because the cases x = y = z is subtracted three times}

= 136 − 24 + 2 = 114

5 boys with allotted roll numbers and seat numbers are seated in such a way that no one sits on the allotted seats. The number of ways of such
seating arrangement is equal to the derangement of 5 boys i.e.,

1! 2! 3! 4! 5!

= 5! − 5! + 60 − 20 + 5 − 1

The given word is MATHS
Arranging the letters alphabetically, we get
AHMST
When the word starts with any of the letters A/H/M/S, the number of possibilities= 4! × 4 = 96
Now when the word starts with TA, then the number of possibilities= 3! = 6
Now when the word starts with THAMS, then the number of possibilities = 1
Rank = 96 + 6 + 1 = 103
Hence, rank of the work THAMS is 103.
14. (2)
We need to find the number of 5 digit numbers greater than 40000 and divisible by 5.
Case I : Numbers start with 5.
Here if the number starts with 5 it should end with 0 to be divisible by 5.

Case II : Number starts with 7 and the last digit can have 0 or 5.

Case III : The number starts with 9 and the last digit should have 0 or 5.

Total numbers = 120.

Hence this is the correct option.
15. (1260)
Three numbers a, b, c are in A.P. ad they are used to making 9− digit number using each digit thrice such that atleast three consecutive digits are in A.P., So,
c, b, a will also be in A.P.

The number of ways arranging them is =

Case 3 : 3 2 2 2 1 1 1 .
The number of ways arranging them is = 7!

3!3!

Case 4 : 3 3 2 1 1 1 1 .
The number of ways arranging them is = 7!

2!4!
= 105

Case 5 : 2 2 2 2 2 1 1

The number of ways arranging them is =

7!

5!2!

The total number of ways are = 42 + 105 + 140 + 105 + 21

= 413

Therefore, the required answer is 413.

17. (1)

The given word is MONDAY

Arranging the letters alphabetically, we get
ADMNOY
When the word starts with any of the letters A/D, the number of possibilities= 5! × 2 = 240
Now when the word starts with MA, then the number of possibilities= 4! = 24
Now when the word starts with MD, then the number of possibilities = 4! = 24
Now when the word starts with MN, then the number of possibilities = 4! = 24
Now when the word starts with MOA, then the number of possibilities= 3! = 6
Now when the word starts with MOD, then the number of possibilities = 3! = 6
Now when the word starts with MONA, then the number of possibilities = 2! = 2
Now when the word starts with MONDAY, then the number of possibilities= 1
Rank = 240 + 24 × 3 + 6 × 2 + 2 + 1 = 327
Hence, rank of the word MONDAY is 327.
SHORTCUT METHOD
Another method is a shortcut, first number the alphabet and then check how many number are there on right hand side less that number and then
start number in factorial in decreasing order and then multiply and add them and in last add one to find rank,
3 5 4 2 1 6

M O N D A Y

2 3 2 1 0 0

5! 4! 3! 2! 1! 0!

∴ Rank = (2 × 5! + 3 × 4! + 2 × 3! + 1 × 2!)
= 240 + 72 + 12 + 2 + 1 = 327

A number is divisible by 6 when it is divisible by 2 and 3 both.

The three digit number can be a b 2.
¯ ¯¯
a + b can be 4, 7, 10
If a + b = 4 then (a, b) can be (1, 3), (3, 1), (2, 2)
If a + b = 7 then (a, b) can be(2, 5), (5, 2), (3, 4), (4, 3)
If a + b = 10 then (a, b) can be (5, 5)
So, 8 such cases when 2 is at unit's place
Similarly, there exist 8 such cases when 4 is at unit's place.
Total = 16 cases.
Hence this is the required answer.

19. (3)

Given,
Three-digit number to be formed which are divisible by 3 using the digits 1, 3, 5, 8 and repetition is allowed,
Now taking case (1), where all digits are same, we get
(1, 1, 1), (3, 3, 3), (5, 5, 5), (8, 8, 8)→ 4 ways

Now taking case (2), where 2−digit are same and one is distinct, we get
3!
(5, 5, 8)→ = 3 ways, (8, 8, 5)→ 3 ways
2!

Now taking case (3), where all are distinct, we get

(1, 3, 5)→ 6 ways, (1, 8, 3)→ 6 ways

So, total ways will be 4 + 3 + 3 + 6 + 6 = 22

20. (72)

Let the 4−digit pin be abcd

Now given sum of first two is equal to last two, so a + b = c + d
And number available are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

Now Let a + b = c + d = λ
Also the greatest digit that he has used is 7
So, a + b = c + d = λ ≥ 7
Now taking all cases starting from λ = 7 we get,
λ = 7, (a, b)→(0, 7) or (7, 0) , then (c, d)→(1, 6),(2, 5),(3, 4),(4, 3),(5, 2),(6, 1) and vice-versa, so 2 × 12 = 24 numbers
λ = 8, (a, b)→(1, 7) or (7, 1) , then (c, d)→(2, 6),(3, 5),(6, 2),(5, 3) and vice versa so total 2 × 8 = 16 numbers,
λ = 9, (a, b)→(2, 7) or (7, 2) then (c, d)→(3, 6),(4, 5),(5, 4),(6, 3) and vice versa, so total 2 × 8 = 16 numbers,
λ = 10, (a, b)→(3, 7),(7, 3), so (c, d)→(6, 4),(4, 6)→ 8 numbers
λ = 11, (a, b)→(4, 7),(7, 4), so (c, d)→(6, 5),(5, 6)→ 8 numbers
λ = 12, 13 & 14 are not possible,
So, Total numbers = 24 + 16 + 16 + 8 + 8 = 72
