In how many ways can 12 people be divided into 3 groups of 4 persons(in each group) A. None of these C. Insufficient Data Hide Answer | | Discuss Notebook Here is the answer and explanation Answer : Option D Explanation : ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Solution 1 : Using Formula ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Number of ways in which m n distinct things can be divided equally into n groups (each group will have m things and the groups are unmarked, i.e., not distinct) B. 12!(4!)3 D. 12!(4!)33!

=(mn)!(m!)n n!
[Reference : Division and Distribution of Distinct Objects - Case 3] Since it is not specified that groups are numbered(distinct), we can consider that groups are identical(not distinct) 12 people be divided into 3 groups of 4 persons. Hence, as per the above formula, total number of ways

=12!(4!)33!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Solution 2 : Using Concepts ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Number of ways of selecting 4 persons from 12 persons = 12C4 Number of ways of selecting 4 persons from remaining 8 persons = 8C4 Number of ways of selecting 4 persons from remaining 4 persons = 4C4

Total number of ways = 12C48C44C43!=(12!8! 4!)(8!4! 4!)13!=12!(4!)33!

Did you get why we have divided by 3!? It is because we have taken the groups as identical(not distinct). (If the groups were numbered(distinct),there is no need to divide by 3!) 29. Sachin's age after 15 years will be 5 times his age 5 years back. Find out the present age of Sachin? A. 10 years B. 11 years C. 12 years D. 13 years Hide Answer | | Discuss Notebook Here is the answer and explanation Answer : Option A Explanation : Let the present age of Sachin = x Then (x+15) = 5(x-5) => 4x = 40 => x = 10 25. The ratio of the age of a man and his wife is 4:3. At the time of marriage the ratio was 5:3 and After 4 years this ratio will become 9:7. How many years ago were they married? A. 8 years B. 10 years C. 11 years D. 12 years Hide Answer | | Discuss Notebook

Here is the answer and explanation Answer : Option D Explanation : Let the present age of the man and his wife be 4x and 3x respectively.

After 4 years this ratio will become 9:7 => (4x + 4)/ (3x + 4) = 9/7 => 28x + 28 = 27x + 36 => x = 8

=> Present age of the man = 4x = 48 = 32 Present age of his wife = 3x = 38 = 24

Assume that they got married before t years. Then (32 t) / (24 t) = 32/24 = 5/3 => 96 3t = 120 5t => 2t = 24 => t = 24/2 = 12 39. Three boys P,Q and R are to speak at a function along with 5 others. If all of them speak in random order, what is the probability that P speaks before Q and Q speaks before R? A. 29 C. 16 Hide Answer | | Discuss Notebook Here is the answer and explanation B. 13 D. 19

Answer : Option C Explanation : n(S) = Total number of ways in which 8 boys can speak = 8P8 = 8! Now, let's find out the total number of ways in which 8 boys can speak where P speaks before Q and Q speaks before R. Let the 8 boys be A, B, C, D, E, P, Q, R. There are 8 positions to be filled. Number of options for A = 8 (Any of the 8 positions.) Number of options for B = 7 (Any of the 7 positions.) Number of options for C = 6 (Any of the 6 positions.) Number of options for D = 5 (Any of the 5 positions.) Number of options for E = 4 (Any of the 4 positions.) Since P must speak before Q, and Q must speak before R, the 3 remaining positions must be occupied as P-Q-R. i.e, there is only 1 way of doing this Total number of ways = (8 7 6 5 4 1)= 8P5 i.e., n(E) = Total number of ways in which 8 boys can speak where P speaks before Q and Q speaks before R = 8P5

P(E) = n(E)n(S)=8P58!=(8!3!)8!=13!=16
