Question # 1 (i) n! 6!
So number formed = =
PAKPATTAN p ! q ! 2! 2!
Number of letters = n = 9 720
Number of Ps = p = 2 = = 180
(2) (2)
Number of As = q = 3 Now if numbers are of the form 3
Number of Ts = r = 2 Where each can be filled with 0, 2, 2, 2, 4, 4
Thus the number of worlds formed Then number of digits = n = 6
n! 9! Number of 2s = p = 3
= =
p ! q ! r ! 2! 3! 2! Number of 4s = q = 2
362880
= = 15120 Answer n! 6!
(2) (6) (2) So number formed = =
p ! q ! 3! 2!
(ii) & (iii) 720
= = 60
Do yourself as above (6) (2)
(iv) ASSASSINATION Now if numbers are of the form 4
Number of letters = n = 13 Where each can be filled with 0, 2, 2, 2,3, 4
Number of As = p = 3 Then number of digits = n = 6
Number of Ss = q = 4 Number of 2s = p = 3
Number of Is = r = 2 n! 6!
So number formed = =
Number of Ns = s = 2 p! 3!
So the number of words 720
= = 120
n! 13! 6
= =
p ! q ! r ! s ! 3! 4! 2! 2! So required numbers greater than 1000000
6227020800 = 180 + 60 + 120
= = 10810800 = 360

Question # 2 (Submitted by Waqas Ahmad - FAZMIC Sargodha 2004-06)
No. of digits = 7
If P is the first letter then words are of the
No. of 2s = 3
form P ,
No. of 4s = 2
Where five can be replace with A,N,A,M,A.
7!
So number of letters = n = 5 Permutations of 7 digits number =
Number of As = p = 3 3! 2!
5040
5! 120 = = 420
So required permutations = = = 20 (6) (2)
3! 6
Number less than 1,000,000 are of the form
0 ,
Question # 3 Where each can be replaced with 2, 2, 3, 4, 4.
If C be the first letter and K is the last letter No. of digits = 6
then words are of the form C K .Where No. of 2s = 3
each can be replaced with A,T,T,A,E,D. No. of 4s = 2
So number of letters = n = 6 So permutations =
6!
=
720
= 60
Number of As = p = 2 3! 2! (6) (2)
Number of Ts = q = 2 Hence number greater than 1000000 = 420 60
n! 6! = 360
So required permutations = =
p ! q ! 2! 2!
Question # 5
720 Total number of digits = n = 6
= = 180
(2) (2) Number of 2s = p = 2
Number of 3s = q = 2
Question # 4
The number greater than 1000000 are of the Number of 4s = r = 2
following forms. So number formed by these 6 digits
If numbers are of the form 2 n! 6!
= =
Where each can be filled with 0, 2, 2,3, 4, 4 p! q! r ! (2!) (2!) (2!)
Then number of digits = n = 6 =
720
= 90
Number of 2s = p = 2 (2) (2) (2)
Number of 4s = q = 2

Question # 6 A A
Total members = n = 11
Members in first committee = p = 3
Members in second committee = q = 4 B D D B
Members in third committee = r = 2
Members in fourth committee = s = 2
So required number of committees C C

n! 11! Since above figures of arrangement are

= = reflections of each other
p ! q ! r ! s ! 3! 4! 2! 2!

39916800 Therefore permutations = 6 = 3
= = 69300 2

Question # 12
Question # 7 Number of beads = 6
Number of D.C.Os = 9 Fixing one bead, we have permutation = 5 P5
Let D1 and D2 be the two D.C.Os insisting
= 120
to sit together so consider them one. A A
If D1D2 sit together then permutations
B F B
= 9 P9 = 362880 F

If D2 D1 sit together then permutations

= 9 P9 = 362880 C E E C
So total permutations = 362880 + 362880 D D
= 725760 Since above figures of arrangement are
reflections of each other
Question # 8 1
Fixing one officer on a particular seat Therefore permutations = 120 = 60
2
We have permutations of remaining 11 officers
= 11P11 = 39916800

Question # 9 http://www.mathcity.org/fsc
9 males can be seated on a round table
= 8 P8 = 40320 Submit error/mistake at
http://www.mathcity.org/error
And 5 females can be seated on a round table
= 4 P4 = 24
So permutations of both = 40320 + 24
= 967680
Why 0! = 1
Question # 10 fix man
We know that
10! = 10 9 8.....3 2 1
= 10(10 1)(10 2).....3 2 1
And generally we write
n ! = n(n 1)(n 2)....3 2 1
Similarly we write
(n 1)! = (n 1)(n 2)....3 2 1
So we can write
n ! = n (n 1)!
If we fix one man round a table
n!
then their permutations = 4 P4 = 24 = (n 1)! ing by n
n
Now if women sit between the two men n!
then their permutations = 5 P5 = 120 i.e. (n 1)! =
n
So total permutations = 24 120 = 2880 Putting n = 1 in above
1!
Question # 11 (1 1)! =
1
Number of keys = 4 0! = 1 Proved
Fixing one key we have permutation = 3 P3 = 6
