( n − 4 )! 4! ( n − 4 )! 4! 4!
Question # 2 (i)
Since nC5 = nC4
⇒ nCn −5 = nC4 Q nCr = nCn−r
⇒ n−5=4 ⇒ n= 4+5 ⇒ n=9

(iii)
Do yourself as Q # 2 (i)
Question # 3 (i)
Cr = 35 and n Pr = 210
n
n! n!
Since nCr = 35 ⇒ = 35 ⇒ = 35 ⋅ r ! ………. (i)
( n − r )! r ! ( n − r )!
n!
Also n Pr = 210 ⇒ = 210 ………… (ii)
( n − r )!
Comparing (i) and (ii)
35 ⋅ r ! = 210
210
⇒ r!= ⇒ r ! = 6 ⇒ r ! = 3! ⇒ r = 3
35
Putting value of r in equation (ii)
n!

( n − 3)!
n (n − 1)(n − 2)(n − 3)!
⇒ = 210
( n − 3 )!
⇒ n (n − 1)(n − 2) = 210 ⇒ n (n − 1)(n − 2) = 7 ⋅ 6 ⋅ 5
⇒ n= 7

n−1 (n − 1)! n!
First consider Cr −1 : nCr = 3: 6 ⇒ : = 3:6

n ! (r + 1) r ! 6 (r + 1) 6
⇒ × = ⇒ = ⇒ 11(r + 1) = 6(n + 1)
r ! (n + 1) n! 11 (n + 1) 11
⇒ 11(r + 1) = 6(2r + 1) Q n = 2r
⇒ 11r + 11 = 12r + 6 ⇒ 11r − 12r = 6 − 11
⇒ − r = −5 ⇒ r =5
Putting value of r in equation (ii)
n = 2(5) ⇒ n = 10
Question # 4 (i)
(a) 5 sided polygon has 5 vertices,
so joining two vertices we have line segments = 5C2 = 10
Number of sides = 5
So number of diagonals = 10 – 5 = 5
(b) 5 sided polygon has 5 vertices,
so joining any three vertices we have triangles = 5C3 = 10
Question # 4 (ii)
(a) 8 sided polygon has 8 vertices
So joining any two vertices we have line segments = 8C2 = 28
Number of sides = 8
So number of diagonals = 28 – 8 = 20
(b) 8 sided polygon has 8 vertices,
so joining any three vertices we have triangles = 8C3 = 56 .
Question # 4 (iii)
Do yourself as above.
Queston # 5
Number of boys = 12
So committees formed taking 3 boys = 12C3 = 220
Number of girls = 8
So committees formed by taking 2 girls = = 8C2 = 28
Now total committees formed including 3 boys and 2 girls = 220 × 28 = 6160

Question # 6
Number of persons = 8
Since two particular persons are included in every committee so we have to find
combinations of 6 persons 3 at a time = 6C3 = 20
Hence number of committees = 20
Question # 7
The number of player = 15
So combination, taking 11 player at a time = 15C11 = 1365
Now if one particular player is in each collection
then number of combination = 14C10 = 1001
Question # 8
L.H.S = 16C11 + 16C10
16! 16! 16! 16!

10! 5! 66 10! 5! 66 10! 5! 11 ⋅ 6
17 ⋅ 16! 17! 17!
= = = = 17C11 = R.H.S
11 ⋅ 10! 6 ⋅ 5! 11! 6! 11! (17 − 11)!
Alternative
L.H.S = 16C11 + 16C10 = 4368 + 8008 = 12276 …..….. (i)
R.H.S = 17C11 = 12376 ……… (ii)
From (i) and (ii)
L.H.S = R.H.S
Question # 9
Number of men = 8
Number of women = 10
(i) We have to form combination of 4 women out of 10 and 3 men out of 8
= 10C4 × 8C3 = 210 × 36 = 11760
(ii) At the most 4 women means that women are less than or equal to 4, which implies
the following possibilities (1W ,6M ) , ( 2W ,5M ) , ( 3W ,4M ) , ( 4W ,3M ) , ( 7 M )
= 10C1 × 8C6 + 10C2 × 8C5 + 10C3 × 8C4 + 10C4 × 8C3 + 8C7
= (10 )( 28) + ( 45 )( 56 ) + (120 )( 70 ) + ( 210 )( 56 ) + ( 8)
= 280 + 2520 + 8400 + 11760 + 8
= 22968
(iii) At least 4 women means that women are greater than or equal to 4, which implies
the following possibilities ( 4W ,3M ) , ( 5W ,2M ) , ( 6W ,1M ) , ( 7W )
= 10C4 × 8C3 + 10C5 × 8C2 + 10C6 × 8C1 + 10C7
= ( 210 )( 56 ) + ( 252 )( 28) + ( 210 )(8 ) + 120
= 11760 + 7056 + 1680 + 120
= 20616
