10 digit no , each digit can can be either 3 or 7 => each digit can be occupied by 2 numbers
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
=>
2^10 numbers riyakhilnani7 Wrote:2) How many 5 digit numbers can be formed which are divisible by 3 using the numerals 0,1,2,3,4,5 (without repitition)
for the number to be divisible by 3 , the sum of its digits should be divisble by 3
0+1+2+3+4+5 = 15
therefore the digits in the number can be either
01245 (sum of its digits = 12)
or
12345 (sum of its digits = 15)
If digits are 12345, there can be 5!=120 numbers without repetition of the digits
If digits are 01245, there can be 4x4x3x2x1 = 96 numbers without repetition of the digits
because _ _ _ _ _
4 4 3 2 1
the 1st digit cant be zero otherwise it will be 4 digit no.
total 120+96 =
216 numbersriyakhilnani7 Wrote:3) Everyone shakes hands with everyone else in a room. Total number of handshakes is 66. Number of persons=?
Suppose n people are there. When n people are taken 2 at a time there are 66 handshakes so
nC2 = 66
n!/[2!x(n-2)!] = 66
=>
n = 12riyakhilnani7 Wrote:4) The number of parallelograms that can be formed from a set of FOUR parallel straight line intersecting a set of THREE parallel straight lines=?
We can assume there are 4 horizontal parallel lines ,3 vertical parallel lines
parallelogram is made by 2 horizontal parallel lines and 2 vertical parallel liness
so
4C2 x 3C2 =
18 parallelograms
