Q. 1 Find (r-x), if 2P(5,3) = P(r,4) and P(9,5) + 5P(9,4) = P(10,x) Answer: 360 EXPLAINATION: 2P(5,3) = P(r,4) 2*5!/(5-3)! = r!/(r-4)! 2*5!/2! = r(r-1)(r-2)(r-3)(r-4)!/(r-4)! 5! = r(r-1)(r-2)(r-3) r = 5 P(9,5) + 5P(9,4) = P(10,x) 9!/(9-5)! + 5*9!/(9-4)! = 10!/(10-x)! 9!/4! + 5*9!/5! = 10!/(10-x)! 2*9!/4! = 10*9!/(10x)! 1/4! = 5/(10-x)! 5! = […]

Q. 1 Find r when C(n,r) = 35 and P(n,r) = 840 Answer: 4 EXPLAINATION: From the given conditions, we get C(n,r) = n!/[r!(n-r)!] = 35…(1) P(n,r) = n!/(n-r)! = 840…(2) Dividing (2) by (1), we get n!/(n-r)!/n!/[r!(n-r)!] = 840/35 r! = 24 r! = 1*2*3*4 = 24 r = 4 Q. 2 If (n+1)! […]
Q. 1 A sum of money becomes 8 times itself in 15 years when placed at compound interest. In how many years will it double itself?Correct Answer: 5 years EXPLAINATION: Let P, R and T be the principle, rate and time and A be the amount. A = P(1+R/100)^T 8P=P(1+R/100)^15 8 = (1+R/100)^15 2^3 = […]
