Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula The number of subsets of a set containing n elements is given by the power set formula: textCount = 2^n ### Core Logic Let's analyze the counting criteria for each choice of divisor x in S. Since S contains 10 elements, there are 10 choices for the prime number x: Case 1: Elements belonging to \subset S For a prime x to divide an entry y in S, y must be exactly equal to x itself (since all elements in S are distinct primes). This yields exactly 1 choice for each prime x. ### Step 1: Count elements belonging to product set P For a prime x to divide an entry y in P, where y is a product of distinct primes from S, the prime x must be one of the factors included in that product. To form such a product, x must be chosen, and the remaining factors can be selected from any combination of the other 9 primes in S. The number of ways to choose subsets from the remaining 9 primes is given by the power set formula: textWays = 2^9 = 512 ### Step 2: Combine and Evaluate Total Ordered Pairs Sum the valid outcomes from both subsets for a single prime x: textTotal choices for a fixed x = 1 + 512 = 513 quad text? Wait, let's re-verify the definition of set P. P is the set of all possible products of distinct elements of S. Does P include products of single elements? If a product has only 1 element, it is just the prime itself, which is already in S. Let's use the alternative \subset framing: an element y in A corresponds to a non-empty \subset of S whose elements are multiplied together. For a fixed prime x in S to divide y, x must be included in that \subset. The remaining elements of the \subset can be chosen in any way from the remaining 9 primes, which gives: textTotal subsets containing x = 2^9 = 512 Since there are 10 choices for the prime x, the total number of ordered pairs (x,y) is: textTotal Pairs = 10 cdot 2^9 = 10 cdot 512 = 5120 ### Pattern Recognition Instead of counting the pairs by analyzing values of y first, reversing the calculation to count based on the number of choices for the divisor x simplifies the problem into a straightforward power set calculation. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Mathematics: Permutations and Combinations Class 11 Mathematics: Sets

Line L_1 of slope 2 and line L_2 of slope frac12 intersect at the origin O. In the first quadrant, P_1, P_2, dots, P_12 are 12 points on line L_1 and Q_1, Q_2, dots, Q_9 are 9 points on line L_2. Then the total number of triangles, that can be formed having vertices at three of the 22 points O, P_1, P_2, dots, P_12, Q_1, Q_2, dots, Q_9, is:
  • A. 1080
  • B. 1134
  • C. 1026
  • D. 1188

Solution

### Related Formula Number of ways to choose 3 points out of N points is ^N C_3. If any points are collinear, choosing 3 points from those collinear points will form a straight line instead of a triangle. ### Core Logic Total number of points = 1 (origin O) + 12 (on L_1) + 9 (on L_2) = 22 points. Triangles are formed by choosing any 3 points except those that are collinear. ### Step 1: Identifying Collinear Sets 1. The set of points lying on L_1 includes O, P_1, dots, P_12, which is 13 collinear points. Number of collinear combinations = ^13 C_3 2. The set of points lying on L_2 includes O, Q_1, dots, Q_9, which is 10 collinear points. Number of collinear combinations = ^10 C_3 ### Step 2: Triangle Calculation Total Triangles = Total choices of 3 points - Collinear choices on L_1 - Collinear choices on L_2 textTotal = ^22 C_3 - ^13 C_3 - ^10 C_3 Calculating individual combinations: - ^22 C_3 = frac22 times 21 times 203 times 2 times 1 = 1540 - ^13 C_3 = frac13 times 12 times 113 times 2 times 1 = 286 - ^10 C_3 = frac10 times 9 times 83 times 2 times 1 = 120 textTriangles = 1540 - 286 - 120 = 1134 ### Pattern Recognition Alternatively, count using partition combinations to avoid large factorials: textTriangles = (^12 C_2 times ^9 C_1) + (^9 C_2 times ^12 C_1) + (1 times ^12 C_1 times ^9 C_1) = (66 times 9) + (36 times 12) + (108) = 594 + 432 + 108 = 1134 ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Mathematics: Permutations and Combinations

From a group of 7 batsmen and 6 bowlers, 10 players are to be chosen for a team, which should include atleast 4 batsmen and atleast 4 bowlers. One batsmen and one bowler who are captain and vice-captain respectively of the team should be included. Then the total number of ways such a selection can be made, is
  • A. 165
  • B. 155
  • C. 145
  • D. 135

Solution

### Related Formula Number of ways to select r items from a pool of n distinct objects: ^nC_r = fracn!r!(n-r)! ### Core Logic Total required players = 10. Constraints: - Minimum 4 batsmen and minimum 4 bowlers. - 1 specific batsman (captain) and 1 specific bowler (vice-captain) are fixed (already selected). Remaining selection required: - Total players left to choose = 10 - 2 = 8 players. - Available remaining pool: - Batsmen available = 7 - 1 = 6 batsmen. - Bowlers available = 6 - 1 = 5 bowlers. Adjusted structural constraints for the remaining 8 slots: - Needs at least 4 - 1 = 3 more batsmen. - Needs at least 4 - 1 = 3 more bowlers. ### Step 1: Set Up Case Combinations Let x be the number of additional batsmen and y be the number of additional bowlers selected, where x + y = 8 with x ge 3 and y ge 3. Possible case matches: - **Case 1**: 5 batsmen and 3 bowlers (x=5, y=3) - **Case 2**: 4 batsmen and 4 bowlers (x=4, y=4) - **Case 3**: 3 batsmen and 5 bowlers (x=3, y=5) ### Step 2: Calculate Each Case Value 1. For Case 1: textWays = ^6C_5 times ^5C_3 = 6 times 10 = 60 2. For Case 2: textWays = ^6C_4 times ^5C_4 = 15 times 5 = 75 3. For Case 3: textWays = ^6C_3 times ^5C_5 = 20 times 1 = 20 ### Step 3: Compute Total Ways Sum the combinations across all valid exhaustive paths: textTotal Ways = 60 + 75 + 20 = 155 ### Pattern Recognition When specific roles (like captain/vice-captain) are strictly forced into the selection group, always remove them from both the operational choice pool size (n) and the final destination requirement count (r) before designing your target case distributions. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Mathematics: Permutations and Combinations

Numerical Answer. Answer: 13 to 13

Solution

### Related Formula The number of ways to choose r non-consecutive elements from a set of n items is given by the binomial formula: textWays = ^n - r + 1C_r ### Core Logic We need to find the total number of subsets for n = 5 items without consecutive values. We break down the options based on the size of the subset (r), ranging from an empty set (r=0) up to the maximum possible non-consecutive size (r=3). ### Step 1: Compute Combinations for Each Size 1. Subsets containing **no elements** (r = 0): textWays = 1 quad (textThe empty set emptyset) 2. Subsets containing **exactly 1 element** (r = 1): textWays = ^5 - 1 + 1C_1 = ^5C_1 = 5 quad (\1\, \2\, \3\, \4\, \5\) 3. Subsets containing **exactly 2 elements** (r = 2): textWays = ^5 - 2 + 1C_2 = ^4C_2 = 6 4. Subsets containing **exactly 3 elements** (r = 3): textWays = ^5 - 3 + 1C_3 = ^3C_3 = 1 quad (\1, 3, 5\) ### Step 2: Sum the Total Counts Add all possible valid non-consecutive subset paths together: textTotal Subsets n(S_5) = 1 + 5 + 6 + 1 = 13 ### Pattern Recognition Shortcut: The total number of non-consecutive subsets for a set of size n follows the Fibonacci sequence pattern: F_n+2. For n=5, the value is the 7th Fibonacci number, which is exactly 13. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Mathematics: Permutations and Combinations

### Related Formula textNet Triangles = binomn3 - binomm3 ### Core Logic To calculate valid un-collapsed geometric triangles, find total ways to select 3 distinct coordinate indicators from the set and remove choices restricted entirely within the inline row sequence. ### Step 1: Compute Full Dynamic Combinations Choosing 3 general elements from the array size of 12: binom123 = frac12 times 11 times 103 times 2 times 1 = 220 ### Step 2: Isolate Internal Flattened Collinear Triplets Choosing 3 items completely bundled inside the collinear group row of size 5: binom53 = 10 ### Step 3: Deduce Triangles textTriangles Generated = 220 - 10 = 210 ### Pattern Recognition Points in a straight line cannot create spatial enclosing fields. Subtracting localized combinations from generalized permutations accounts for structural constraints. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Mathematics: Permutations and Combinations
Q60 jee_main_2025_29_jan_evening Rank of a Word in Dictionary

  • A. textPRNAKU
  • B. textPRKANU
  • C. textPRKAUN
  • D. textPRNAUK

Solution

### Related Formula Number of permutations of n distinct letters is given by: textPermutations = n! ### Core Logic Sort the distinct letters of "KANPUR" alphabetically: textA, K, N, P, R, U Track alphabetical structural sets row by row: Words starting with A: 5! = 120 Words starting with K: 5! = 120 (Cumulative: 240) Words starting with N: 5! = 120 (Cumulative: 360) ### Step 1: Parse the Next Character Layer We need the 440th word, so the next block begins with P: Words starting with PA: 4! = 24 (Cumulative: 384) Words starting with PK: 4! = 24 (Cumulative: 408) Words starting with PN: 4! = 24 (Cumulative: 432) ### Step 2: Reach the Targeted Count Remaining difference to hit 440 is 440 - 432 = 8 words. The next group starts with PR. Alphabetical listings within PR: Words starting with PRA: 3! = 6 (Cumulative: 438) Now list alphabetically within PRK: 439th word: PRKANU 440th word: PRKAUN ### Pattern Recognition Factorial blocks eliminate large numbers quickly. Once the cumulative total lands within a narrow range of the answer, switch over to writing combinations down manually to ensure high accuracy. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Mathematics: Permutations and Combinations
