Question 3.
Find the number of functions from a set A containing 5 elements into a set B containing 4 elements.
Solution:
Set A contains 5 elements.
Set 8 contains 4 elements.
Hint: The total number of functions from set A containing m elements to set B containing n elements is nm.

Question 1.
Find the number of palindromes with 6 digits that can be formed using the digits
(i) 0, 2, 4, 6, 8
(iii) 1, 3, 5, 7, 9
Solution:
Palindromes mean first digit, sixth digit and second digit, fifth digit and third digit, and the fourth digit are the same numbers.
That is we have filled the first three digits only and then the remaining digits are the same.
Inter 2nd Year Maths 2A Permutations and Combinations Solutions Ex 5(b) II Q1

For the required 6-digit palindromes first digit can be filled 4 ways except ‘0’.
The second digit can be filled in 5 ways and the third can be filled in 5 ways.
∴ The number of 6-digit palindromes using the digits 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 are 4 × 52 = 100
Inter 2nd Year Maths 2A Permutations and Combinations Solutions Ex 5(b) II Q1.1

For the required 6-digit palindromes first digit can be filled in 5 ways, the second digit can be filled in 5 ways and the third digit can be filled in 5 ways.
∴ The number of 6-digit palindromes using the digits 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 are 53 = 125

Question 2.
Find the number of 4-digit telephone numbers that can be formed using the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 with atleast one digit repeated.
Solution:
The number of 4 digited numbers formed using the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 when repetition is allowed = 64
The number of 4 digited numbers formed using the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 when repetition is not allowed = 6P4
The number of 4 digited telephone numbers in which atleast one digit is repeated = 646P4
= 64 – 6 × 5 × 4 × 3
= 1296 – 360
= 936

Question 3.
Find the number of bijections from a set A containing 7 elements onto itself.
Solution:
Hint: The number of bijections from set A with n elements to set B with the same number of elements in A is n!
Let A = [a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7]
For a bijection, the element a1 has 7 choices
for its image, the element a2 has 6 choices
for its image, the element a3 has 5 choices
for its image, the element a4 has 4 choices
for its image, the element a5 has 3 choices
for its image, the element a6 has 2 choices
for its image and the element, a7 has 1 choice for its image.
∴ The number of bijections from set A with 7 elements onto itself = 7!
= 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1
= 5040

Question 4.
Find the number of ways of arranging ‘r’ things in a line using the given ‘n’ different things in which atleast one thing is repeated.
Solution:
The number of ways of arranging, r things in a line using the given n different things
(i) when repetition is allowed is nr
(ii) when repetition is not allowed is nPr
∴ The number of ways of arranging ‘r’ things in a line using the ‘n1 different things in which atleast one thing is repeated = nrnPr

Question 5.
Find the number of 5-letter words that can be formed using the letters of the word NATURE that begin with N when repetition is allowed.
Solution:
First, we can fill up the first place with N in one way.
Inter 2nd Year Maths 2A Permutations and Combinations Solutions Ex 5(b) II Q5
The remaining 4 places can be filled with any one of the 6 letters in 6 × 6 × 6 × 6 = 64 ways.
∴ The number of 5 letter words that can be formed using the letters of the word NATURE that begin with N when repetition is allowed = 1 × 64 = 1296

Question 6.
Find the number of 5-digit numbers divisible by 5 that can be formed using the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 when repetition is allowed.
Solution:
The unit place of 5 digited numbers which can be divisible by 5 using the given digits can be filled by either 0 or 5 in two ways.
The first place can be filled in any one of the given digits except ‘0’ in 5 ways.
The remaining 3 places can be filled by any one of the given digits in 6 × 6 × 6 ways (∵ repetition is allowed)
Inter 2nd Year Maths 2A Permutations and Combinations Solutions Ex 5(b) II Q6
∴ The number of 5 digited numbers divisible by 5 that can be formed using the given digits when repetition is allowed = 2 × 5 × 6 × 6 × 6 = 2160 ways.

Question 7.
Find the number of numbers less than 2000 that can be formed using the digits, 1, 2, 3, 4 if repetition is allowed.
Solution:
All the single digited numbers, two digited numbers, three digited numbers and the four digited numbers started with 1 are the numbers less than 2000 using the digits 1, 2, 3, 4.
The number of single digited numbers formed using the given digits = 4
Inter 2nd Year Maths 2A Permutations and Combinations Solutions Ex 5(b) II Q7
The number of two digited numbers formed using the given digits when repetition is allowed = 4 × 4 = 16

III.

Question 1.
9 different letters of an alphabet are given. Find the number of 4 letter words that can be formed using these 9 letters which have
(i) no letter is repeated
(ii) At atleast one letter is repeated
Solution:
The number of 4 letter words can be formed using the 9 different letters of an alphabet when repetition is allowed = 94
(i) The number of 4 letter words can be formed using the 9 different letters of an alphabet in which no letter is repeated = 9P4
= 9 × 8 × 7 × 6
= 3024
(ii) The number of 4 letter words can be formed using the 9 different letters of an alphabet in which atleast one letter is repeated = 949P4
= 6561 – 3024
= 3537
