Sol. (i) If zero value are include i.e. x, y, z, w  0
So Required no of solution = 20 + 4 – 1C4 – 1 = 23C3 Ans.
(ii) If zero value are exclude i.e. x, y, z , w  1
x + y + z + w = 20  y1 + y2 + y3 + y4 = 16 {  y1 , y2 , y3 , y4  0}
So Required number of solution = 16 + 4 – 1C4 – 1 = 19C3 Ans.

(iii) x + y + z + w = 10
1  x, y, z, w  10 = coefficient of x10 in (x + x2 + ......+ x7)4

Alter
First find any one is exceed 10
i.e. 10 + x1 + y + z + w = 20 Hence x1 , y , z , w  1
So y1 , y2 , y3 , y4  0 = y1 + y2 + y3 + y4 = 6
number of solution = 9C3
Hence number of solution if all variable may exceed 10, zero values exclude is 19

Sol. Let the number starts with 635 then two cases arise
Case-1 If 9 occurs at units place then the number of numbers = 9 × 9 × 9 = 729
Case-2 If 9 does not come at units place then number of ways for 9 to occur at either of the rest three
places = 3C1 = 3
the number of numbers = 3 × 9 × 9 × 4 = 972
total numbers starting with 635 = 729 + 972 = 1701
Similarly total number starting with 674 = 1701
Maximum number of trials = 1701 × 2 = 3402

Sol. n2 = n1 + t1 + 1
n3 = n2 + t2 + 1
n4 = n3 + t3 + 1
n5 = n4 + t4 + 1
The given equation becomes
5n1 + 4t1 + 3t2 + 2t3 + t4 = 10 where n1  1 ; t1  0
n1 = t0 + 1  5t0 + 4t1 + 3t2 + 2t3 + t4 = 5
t0 = 1 will yield only 1 solution.
so t0 = 0,
4t1 + 3t2 + 2t3 + t4 = 5.
t1 = 0 = t2. there will be 3 solution
t1 = 0, t2 = 1 will yield 2 solution.
t1 = 1, t2 must be zero 1 solution.
Hence in total there will be 7 solution.

Sol. Maximum number of hats used of same colour are 2. They can not be 3 otherwise atleast 2 hats of
same colour are consecutive.

Now, Let hats used are R, R, G, G, B

Now, numbers of ways of distributing blue hat (single one) in 5 person equal to 5

Let blue hat goes to person A.

Now either position B & D are filled by green hats and C & E are filled by Reds hats

Or B & D are filled by Red hats and C & E are filled by Green hats

 2 ways are possible

Hence total number of ways = 3 × 5 × 2 = 30 ways

lehdj.k x + y + z = 20 ds /kukRed fHkUu&fHkUu iw.kk±d gyksa dh la[;k Kkr dhft,A
Ans. 144
Sol. The given equation is x + y + z = 20 .........(1)
We have to find the number of different values of x, y, z
Such that x  y  z and x, y, z  1
Let us assume that x < y < z
And x = x1, y – x = x2 and z – y = x3
Then x = x1 ; y = x1 + x2 and z = x1 + x2 + x3
Also x1 , x2 , x3  1
Substitution these values in (1) we get
3x1 + 2x2 + x3 = 20 ..........(2)
Where x1 , x2 , x3  1
Now No. of solution of equation (2) is
= Co-efficient of x20 in (x3 + x6 + x9 + ....) × (x2 + x4 + x6 + ....) × (x + x2 + x3 + ...)
= Co-efficient of x14 in (1 + x3 + x6 + x9 + ....) (1 + x2 + x4 + -....) × (1 + x + x2 +....)
= (1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + x5 + 2x6 + x7 + 2x8 + 2x9 +2x10 + 2x11 + 3x12 + 2x13 + 3x14 + 3x15 + ....)

1 ls 105 dh lHkh la[;kvksa dks fy[kus ij vad 5 fdruh ckj fy[kk x;k gSA
Ans. 50000
Sol. We have to count the occurrences of digit 5 consider integers t such that 0  t  105
The largest number t having 5 in the units place is 99995.So there are
1 + 9999 = 104 numbers t having 5 in the units place
The are 5, 15, 25,............99995
We can describe these numbers as t = x 5
Where x is any one of 0, 1, 2,......9999. Similarly numbers t = x5y.
ie.e., numbers having 5 in the ten's place are in all (1 + 999) × 10 = 10 4 as x can be any one of 0, 1,
2,..999 and y can be anyone of 0, 1,2,.......9
In the same way, there are 104 numbers in each of the following cases: numbers with 5 in the hundreds
place or thousands place or ten thousands place.
Hence, the total number of times 5 is written 104 × 5

Ans. 729
Sol. We divide the even 4-digit numbers having non-zero digits into 4 classes : those ending in 2, 4, 6, 8.
(A) Suppose a 4-digit number ends in 2. Then the second right digit must be odd in order to be divisible by
4. Thus the last 2 digits must be of the form 12, 32, 52,72 or 92. If a number ends in 12, 52 or 92, then
the previous digit must be even in order not to be divisible by 8 and we have 4 admissible even digits.

Permutation & Combination

Now the left most digit of such a 4-digit number can be any non-zero digit and there are 9 such ways,
and we get 9 × 4 × 3 = 108 such number. If a number ends in 32 or 72, then the previous digit must be
odd in order not to be divisible by 8 and we have 5 admissible odd digits. Here again the left most digit
of such a 4-digit number can be any non-zero digit and there are 9 such ways, and we get 9 × 5 × 2 =
90 such number. Thus the number of 4-digit number having non-zero digits, ending in 2, divisible by 4
not by 8 is 108 + 90 = 198.
(B). If the number ends in 4, then the previous digit must be even for divisibility by 4. Thus the last two digits
must be of the form 24, 44, 64, 84. If we take numbers ending with 24 and 64, then the previous digit
must be odd for non-divisibility by 8 and the left most digit can be any non-zero digit. Here we get 9 × 5
× 2 = 90 such numbers. If the last two digits are of the form 44 and 84, then previous digit must be
even for non-divisibility by 8. And the left most digit can take 9 possible values. We thus get 9 × 4 × 2 =
72 numbers. Thus the admissible numbers ending in 4 is 90 + 72 = 162.
(C) If a number ends with 6, then the last two digits must be of the form 16, 36, 56, 76, 96. For numbers
ending with 16, 56, 76, the previous digit must be odd. For numbers ending with 36, 76, the previous
digit must be even. Thus we get here (9 × 5 × 3) + (9 × 4 × 2) = 135 + 72 = 207 numbers.

(D) If a number ends with 8, then the last two digits must be of the form 28, 48, 68, 88. For numbers ending
with 28, 68, the previous digit must be even. For numbers ending with 48, 88 the previous digit must be
odd. Thus we get (9 × 4 × 2) + (9 × 5 × 2) = 72 + 90 = 162 numbers.

Thus the number of 4-digit numbers, having non-zero digits, and divisible by 4 but not by 8 is
198 + 168 + 207 + 162 = 729.
Alternative Solution : If we take any four consecutive even numbers and divide them by 8, we get
remainders 0, 2, 4, 6 in some order. Thus there is only one number of the from 8k + 4 among them
which is divisible by 4 but not by 8. Hence if we take four even consecutive numbers.
1000 a + 100 b + 10c + 2, 1000a + 100b + 10c + 4, 1000 a + 100b + 10c + 6, 1000a + 100b + 10 c + 8,
there is exactly one among these four which is divisible by 4 but not by 8. Now we can divide the set of
all 4-digit even numbers with non-zero digits into groups of 4 such consecutive even numbers with a, b,
c nonzero. And in each group, there is exactly one number which is divisible by 4 but not by 8. The
number of such groups is precisely equal to 9 × 9 × 9 = 729, since we can vary a, b.c in the set
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}.

Sol. Three of these rays will be passing through vertices.
Remaining 24 rays are to distributed in three groups such that they from equal triangles.
Let x, y, z be number of rays on three sides.
 x + y + z = 24
Number of such points is equal to number of non-negative integral solutions

Permutation & Combination

32. Let = (a1, a2, a3, ..., an) be a permutation of (1, 2, 3, ..., n). A pair (ai,aj) is said to correspond to an
inversion of , if i < j but ai > aj. (Example : In the permutation (2, 4, 5, 3, 1), there are 6 inversions
corresponding to the pairs (2, 1), (4, 3), (4, 1), (5, 3) (5, 1), (3, 1) . ) How many permutations of (1, 2, 3,

Sol. In a permutation of (1, 2, 3, ..., n), two inversions can occur in only one of the following two ways :
(A) Two disjoint consecutive pairs are interchanged :
(1, 2, 3, j, j + 1, j + 2 ... k – 1, k, k + 1, k + 2, ..., n)
 (1, 2, ... j – 1, j + 1, j, j + 2, .., k – 1 k + 1, k, k + 2, ..., n).
(B) Each block of three consecutive integers can be permuted in any of the following 2 ways;
(1, 2, 3, ... k, k + 1, k + 2, ..., n) (1, 2, ..., k + 2, k, k + 1, ..., n);
(1, 2, 3, ... k, k + 1, k + 2, ..., n) (1, 2, ..., k + 1, k + 2, k, ..., n);
Consider case (A). For j = 1, there are n – 3 possible values of k; for j = 2, there are n – 4 possibilities
for k and so on. Thus the number of permutations with two inversions of this type is
(n – 3)(n – 2)
1 + 2 + ... + (n – 3) = .
2
In case (B), we see that there are n – 2 permutations of each type, since k can take values from 1 to n
– 2. Hence we get 2(n – 2) permutations of this type. Finally, the number of permutations with two
inversions is
(n – 3)(n – 2) (n  1)(n  2)
+ 2 (n – 2) = .
