( 1 ) How many words can be formed from the letters of the word "AFTER", so that the vowels never comes together.
- 1) 48
- 2) 52
- 3) 72
- 4) 120
-
Show Answer Report Discussion in forumAnswer : 3) 72
Solution : We need to find the ways that vowels NEVER come together.
Vowels are A, E
Let the word be FTR(AE) having 4 words.
Total ways = 4! = 24
Vowels can have total ways 2! = 2
Number of ways having vowel together = 48
Total number of words using all letter = 5! = 120 Number of words having vowels never together = 120-48 = 72

( 4 ) Four dice are rolled simultaneously. What is the number of possible outcomes in which at least one of the die shows 6?
- 1) 6! / 4!
- 2) 625
- 3) 671
- 4) 1296
-
Show Answer Report Discussion in forumAnswer : 3) 671
Solution : When 4 dice are rolled simultaneously, there are 64 = 1296 outcomes. The converse of what is asked in the question is that none of the dice show '6'. That is all four dice show any of the other 5 numbers. That is possible in 54 = 625 outcomes.
Therefore, in 1296 - 625 = 671 outcomes at least one of the dice will show 6.

( 5 ) How many alphabets need to be there in a language if one were to make 1 million distinct 3 digit initials using the alphabets of the language?
- 1) 26
- 2) 50
- 3) 100
- 4) 1000
-
Show Answer Report Discussion in forumAnswer : 3) 100
Solution : 1 million distinct 3 digit initials are needed.
Let the number of required alphabets in the language be 'n'.
Therefore, using 'n' alphabets we can form n * n * n = n3 distinct 3 digit initials.
Note distinct initials is different from initials where the digits are different.
For instance, AAA and BBB are acceptable combinations in the case of distinct initials while they are not permitted when the digits of the initials need to be different.
This n3 different initials = 1 million
i.e. n3 = 106 (1 million = 106)
=> n3 = (102)3
=> n = 102 = 100
Hence, the language needs to have a minimum of 100 alphabets to achieve the objective.

( 7 ) Out of 7 consonants and 4 vowels, how many words of 3 consonants and 2 vowels can be formed ?
- 1) 210
- 2) 1050
- 3) 25200
- 4) 21400
-
Show Answer Report Discussion in forumAnswer : 3) 25200
Solution : Number of ways of selecting (3 consonants out of 7) and (2 vowels out of 4)
= (7C3 * 4C2) = (7*6*5/3*2*1*4*3/2*1) = 210.
Number of groups, each having 3 consonants and 2 vowels = 210.
Each group contains 5 letters.
Number of ways of arranging 5 letters among themselves
= 5 ! = (5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1) = 120.
∴ Required number of words = (210 * 120) = 25200.

Show Answer Report Discussion in forumAnswer : 4) 729
Solution : The first ring can be worn in any of the 3 fingers
=> There are 3 ways of wearing the first ring
Similarly each of the remaining 5 rings also can be worn in 3 ways
Hence total number of ways
= 3 * 3 * 3 * 3 * 3 * 6 = 36 =729
