The number of ways of distributing 15 identical balloons, 6 identical pencils and 3 identical erasers among 3 children, such that each child gets at least four balloons and one pencil, is
Neraj (TG) 05/01/2024 12:16 pm
ANSWER 1
Given that, there are 15 identical balloons, 6 identical pencils, and 3 identical erasers.
We need to distribute these items among 3 children, such that each child gets at least four balloons and one pencil.
So, every person gets four balloons and one pencil. After distribution, we have 3 balloons, 3 pencils, and 3 erasers remaining.
So, let’s first arrange the balloons in all possible combinations.
(3, 0, 0) , (2, 1, 0) , (1, 1, 1)
We can arrange (3, 0, 0) in three ways.
We can arrange (2, 1, 0) in six ways.
We can arrange (1, 1, 1) in only one way.
So, we can arrange balloons among three children in 10 ways.
Likewise, we can also arrange 3 pencils in 10 ways and 3 erasers in 10 ways.
Therefore, the total number of ways is 10 x 10 x 10 = 1000 ways

Q1.If we rolled a dice 3 times. In how many ways we can get a sum of 8?
Q2.
In how many ways we can pick 4 numbers from first 20 natural numbers such that there is at least a gap of one number between any two picked numbers?
Neraj (TG) 05/01/2024 12:15 pm
ANSWER 1
(6,1,1) = 3 ways
(5,2,1) = 6 ways
(4,2,2) = 3 ways
(4,3,1) = 6 ways
(3,3,2) = 3 ways
The total no. of ways = 21 ways
ANSWER 2
Numbers before we pick first number = A
Numbers between first and second number = B
Numbers between second and third number = C
Numbers after we pick fourth number = D
ATQ,
A+B+C+D=16 [A≥0, B≥1, C≥1, D≥0]
A+B+C+D=14 [A≥0, B≥0, C≥0, D≥0]
NO OF WAYS= 14C2 = 91 WAYS

Q1. Five racquets needs to be placed in three boxes. Each box can hold all the five racquets. In how many ways can the racquets be placed in the boxes so that no box can be empty if all racquets are different but all boxes are identical?
A) 24
B) 25
C) 27
D) 26
Ujjwal Dwivedi 29/02/2024 2:27 pm
Solution: B
Let the 5 racquets be a, b, c, d, e
3 Boxes are Identical
Since the boxes are identical 3 in First box, 1 in Second and 1 in third is not different from 1 in first, 3 in second and 1 in third.
But there is a catch in the above table.
Imagine this process, after selecting 3 out of a, b, c, d, e
Let's say we select d, e, c. a and b have to be put in two identical boxes.
This can be done only in one way.
In second scenario let's assume a and b in First box and c and d in second box and e in third box. But the possibility will be same when c and d in First box and a and b in second box.
So, it is ways, In first scenario 5C3 = 10 ways
Totally 25 ways.

Hello abhi 07
Number of ways for selection of at least 10 articles from 19 different articles is
19c0 +19c1 +19c2 +19c3+19c4+.....+19c10=E
Also, 19c1 +19c2 +19c3+19c4+.....+19c19 = 219
And 19c0 =19c19 , 19c2=19c17+.....
Thus E+E=219 and E=218

What is the sum of all the four digit numbers made using the digits 1,2,3,4 (with as well as without repetition)?
TG Team 28/07/2018 9:13 pm
Hello Richa ,
1234 = 10³ • 1 + 10² • 2 + 10 • 3 + 4
10³ • 1 will occur altogether in 3! ways similarly each of 10³•2 , 10³•3 , 10³•4 will occur in 3! ways .
10³•1 + 10²•2 + 10•3+ 4
10³•2 + 10²•3 + 10•4 + 1
10³•3 + 10²•4 + 10•1 + 2
10³ •4 + 10²•3 + 10•2 + 1
Required sum :
3! × ( 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 ) + (10³+ 10² + 10 +1)
Hence , 6 × ( 1+2+3+4) × 1111 = 66660
TG Team 28/07/2018 9:19 pm
If repition allowed :
_ _ _ _
Keep one digit fixed . We are left with 3 blanks and 4 digits
So fill them in 4 × 4 × 4 ways
Hence , (1 + 2 + 3 + 4) × 4³ × 1111 = 711040

how many pairs of divisors of 21600 will have h.c.f 6..?
TG Team 30/07/2018 9:36 am
Hello Aniket ,
6k and 6n are the factors , where k and n are coprime to each other .
=> k,n are the coprime factors of 3600.
3600 = 24 32 52
k = 2a1 3b1 5c1
n = 2a2 3b2 5c2
one of a1 , a2 has to be 0
=> ( 5 x 5) – ( 4 x 4) = 9 cases
one of b1 , b2 has to be 0
=> ( 3 x 3 ) – ( 2 x 2 )= 5 cases
one of c1 , c2 has to be 0
=> ( 3 x 3 ) – ( 2 x 2 )= 5 cases
Hence , total number of ordered pair solution : 9 x 5 x 5 – 1 = 224 cases
Unordered pairs 224/2 = 112

Please share the solution to the problem below:
In all the words formed by the letters of the word RAINBOW are arranged in a dictionary form, then what is the position of the word RAINBOW in that dictionary
A) 3136
B) 3361
C) 3631
D) 1363

Hello Richa,
Arrange letters in alphabetical order: ie, A,B,I,N,O,R,W.
Now words starting with A/B/I/N/O will come
ahead of the words starting with R.
Words starting from A :
A _ _ _ _ _ _
you can arrange remaining letters in 6! ways .
6! = 720
Same with B, I, N, O. That makes it 720 x 5 = 3600 words
3601st Word will start with R followed by A,
followed by B. The remaining 4 letters can be arranged in 4! = 24
ways. Then Next would be RAIB => (3!) = 6 ways. Then next would
be RAINBOW. Add and get the answer.
TG Team 30/07/2018 6:09 pm
You can see words starting with A , B , I , N and O make up 3600 words . By options if you go only option (C) is more than 3600 . Hence 3631 will be the answer .

In how many ways can you select exactly 7 letters from 3A, 4B, 2C and 1D?
TG Team 05/08/2018 11:36 pm
Hello Samyak,
Selecting 7 out of given 10 letters is same as not selecting 3letters out of 10
Hence ,
Three case :
(i)All same ( ppp)
2 ways : 3A's or 3B's
(ii) 2 same (ppq)
3c2 × 3 = 9 ways
(iii) three distinct ( pqr)
4C3 = 4 ways
Total : 9 + 4 + 2 = 15 ways

HI SIR, could you please explain this question? P.S- I did not understand it from the solution given in the mock.
Two cards are randomly selected from a well-shuffled deck of 52 playing cards. Find the probability that one of them is a Queen and the other is a black card.
TG Team 07/08/2018 12:06 pm
Hello Richa
A standard deck of card has 52 cards.
Equal number of cards(13) of 4 different suits :
Spade - Black
Diamond -Red
Heart - Red
Club - Black
We have to select a queen and a black card :
there are 26 black cards and 4 queens ( 2 red , 2 black )
Two cases :
(i) Red Queen and a Black Card
(ii) Black Queen and A Black Card
For case (i) -
select a red queen from 2 red queens in 2C1 ways and a black card in 26C1ways
Hence , 2 x 26 = 52 ways
For case (ii)
total number of ways to select two black cards = 26C2
Number of ways to select two black non-queen cards = 24C2
Hence, the number of ways in which at least one black queen ( at most 2) is chosen
26C2 - 24C2 = 49
Probability = ( 49 + 52)/(52C2)
Richa 07/08/2018 10:42 pm
Sir, why can't in case (ii) we simply do 2C1 (for one black queen) and 25C1 (selecting one card from the remaining 25 black cards. This way also we will get at least one (and at most 2 queens).
But this gives the answer as 50 instead of 49. So, what is wrong with this method?
tothepoint 17/07/2019 3:13 pm
If you do this, there is one case where you have chosen BOTH the queens in your selection. As per the question, you should have ONE queen and ONE black card.
