Question : 16
In a chess tournament, where the participants were to play one game with another, two chess players fell ill, having played 3 games each. If the total number of games played is 84, the number of participants at the beginning was
a) 16
b) 20
c) 15
d) 21
Answer »Answer: (c)
Let there be n participants in the beginning. Then the number of games played by (n – 2) players = $^{n - 2}C_2$
∴ $^{n - 2} C_2 + 6 = 84$
(Two players played three games each)
⇒$^{n - 2}C_2$ = 78⇒(n - 2)(n - 3) = 156
⇒$n^2$ - 5n - 150 = 0
⇒$n^2$ - 15n + 10n = 150 = 0
⇒n(n - 15) + 10(n - 15) = 0
(n - 15)(n + 10) = 0
n = 15, –10
n cannot be –ve
Therefore n = 15.
Question : 17

a) 18
b) 24
c) 15
d) 30
Answer »Answer: (b)
Let us start with Red colour
Where, R = Red, B = Black, W = White
R | B | R | W |
R | W | R | B |
R | B | R | B |
R | W | R | W |
R | B | W | R |
R | W | B | R |
R | B | B | R |
R | W | W | R |
There are eight such arrangements, if we start with Red ball. Similarly, there are 8 arrangements, if we start with black or white ball.
Hence, No. of arrangements = 8 + 8 + 8 = 24
Question : 18
How many three-digit numbers can be generated from 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 such that the digits are in ascending order ?
a) 81
b) 83
c) 80
d) 84
Answer »Answer: (d)
Any 3 numbers out of 9 can be selected in $^9C_3$ ways.
Now, these three numbers can be arranged among themselves in ascending order in only 1 way.
Hence, total no. of ways = $^9C_3$ × 1 = 84
Question : 19
If all permutations of the letters of the word AGAIN are arranged as in dictionary, then fiftieth word is
a) NAGAI
b) NAAIG
c) NAAGI
d) NAIAG
Answer »Answer: (b)
Starting with the letter A, and arranging the other four letters, there are 4! = 24 words. These are the first 24 words. Then starting with G, and arranging A, A, I, and
N in different ways, there are ${4!}/{2!1!1!} = {24}/2$ = 12 words.
Hence, total 36 words.
Next, the 37th word starts with I. There are 12 words starting with I. This accounts up to the 48th word. The 49th word is NAAGI.
The 50th word is NAAIG.
Question : 20
In a tournament, each of the participants was to play one match against each of the other participants. Three players fell ill after each of them had played three matches and had to leave the tournament. What was the total number of participants at the beginning, if the total number of matches played was 75 ?
a) 10
b) 12
c) 08
d) 15
Answer »Answer: (d)
Let the total no. of participants be 'n' at the beginning.
Players remaining after sometime = n – 3
Now, $^{n–3}C_2$ + (3 × 3) = 75
${(n - 3)!}/{2!(n - 5)!}$ + 9 = 75
$n^2$ – 7n – 120 = 0
(n + 8) (n – 15) = 0
neglecting n = – 8, n = 15
