Tamilnadu Samacheer Kalvi 11th Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Combinatorics and Mathematical Induction Ex 4.5

Question 1.
The sum of the digits at the 10th place of all numbers formed with the help of 2, 4, 5, 7 taken all at a time is ……..
(a) 432
(b) 108
(c) 36
(d) 18
Solution:
(b) 108
Hint.
The given digits are 2, 4, 5 ,7
The unit place can be filled with the digit 2. Then the remaining Ten’s , hundred’s, Thousand’s place can be filled with the remaining three digits 4, 5, 7 in 3P₃ ways.
∴ There will be 3 × 2 × 1 = 6 four digit numbers whose unit place is 2.
Similarly, there are 6 four digit numbers whose unit place is 4 , 6 four digit numbers whose unit place is 5 and 6 four digit numbers whose unit place is 7.
∴ Total in the unit place
= 6 × 2 + 6 × 4 + 6 × 5 + 6 × 7
= 6 × (2 + 4 + 5 + 7)
= 6 × 18 = 108
Sum of the digit at the unit place = 108
∴ Sum of the digit at the tens place = 108

Question 2.
In an examination, there are three multiple-choice questions and each question has 5 choices. A number of ways in which a student can fail to get all answer correct is ……..
(a) 125
(b) 124
(c) 64
(d) 63
Solution:
(b) 124
Hint.
Each question has 5 options in which 1 is correct.
So the number of ways of getting the correct answer for all three questions is 5³ = 125
So the number of ways in which a student can fail to get all answer correct is < 125 (i.e.) 125 – 1 = 124

Question 3.
The number of ways in which the following prize be given to a class of 30 boys first and second in mathematics, first and second in physics, first in chemistry and first in English is ……….
(a) 30⁴ × 29²
(b) 30³ × 29³
(c) 30² × 29⁴
(d) 30 × 29⁵
Solution:
(a) 30⁴ × 29²
Hint.
Number of students = 30
First prize can be given to any one of 30 students
= 30 × 30 × 30 × 30 = 30⁴ ways
Second prize can be given to anyone of the remaining 29 students = 29 × 29 = 29² ways
∴ Total number of ways prizes can be given = 30⁴ × 29² ways

Question 4.
The number of 5 digit numbers all digits of which are odd is ………
(a) 25
(b) 5⁵
(c) 5⁶
(d) 625
Solution:
(b) 5⁵
Hint. The odd number are 1, 3, 5, 7, 9
Number of odd numbers = 5
We need a five-digit number So the number of five-digit number = 5⁵

1 × 2 × 3 × …………… × r = r!
which is divisible by r!
Also, 1 × 2 × 3 × …………… × r = r!
= ( r – 1) ! × r

(c) ¹²C₈ – ¹⁰C₆
(d) ¹⁰C₆ + 2!
Solution:
(c) ¹²C₈ – ¹⁰C₆
Hint.
Number of the way of selecting 8 people from 12 in ¹²C₈
∴ out of the remaining people, 8 can attend in ¹⁰C₈
The number of ways in which two of them do not attend together = ¹²C₈ – ¹⁰C₆

Hint.
Selecting 5 from 52 cards = ⁵²C₅
selecting 5 from the (non-king cards 48) = ⁴⁸C₅
∴ Number of ways is ⁵²C₅ – ⁴⁸C₅

Question 20.

(a) 81
(b) 99
(c) 1296
(d) 6561
Solution:
(c) 1296
Hint. Number of horizontal times = 9
Number of vertical times = 9
Selecting 2 from 9 horizontal lines = ⁹C₂
Selecting 2 from 9 vertical lines = ⁹C₂

Question 21.
The number of 10 digit number that can be written by using the digits 2 and 3 is ……..
(a) ¹⁰C₂ + ⁹C₂
(b) 2¹⁰
(c) 2¹⁰ – 2

Hint.
Selecting the number from (2 and 3)
For till the first digit can be done in 2 ways
For till the second digit can be done in 2 ways ….
For till the tenth digit can be done in 2 ways
So, total number of ways in 10 digit number = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 2¹⁰

(d) ^{(n + 1)}P_{(n – 1)}
Solution:
(b) P_{n + 1} – 1
Hint:
1 + 1! + 2! + 3! + … + n!
Now 1 + 1 (1!) = 2 = (1 + 1)!
1 + 1 (1!) + 2(2!) = 1 + 1 + 4 = 6 = 3!
1 + 1(1!) + 2(2!)+ 3(3!) = 1 + 1 + 4 + 18 = 24 = 4!
1 + 1(1!) + 2(2!) + 3(3!) ….+ n(n!) = (n + 1) ! – 1
= ^{n + 1}P_{n + 1} – 1 = P_{n + 1} – 1
