Let mathrmP be the set of seven digit numbers with sum of their digits equal to 11. If the numbers in mathrmP are formed by using the digits 1, 2 and 3 only, then the number of elements in the set mathrmP is :

Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula textNumber of permutations of multinomial set = fracn!n_1! n_2! dots ### Core Logic Let the 7 digits be formed using 1s, 2s, and 3s. We seek combinations whose sum is 11. Since minimum value for 7 digits using '1' is 7, we evaluate the distribution of surplus elements (11 - 7 = 4 remaining to add). ### Case 1: Using five 1s and two 3s Digits: \1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, 3\ textTotal numbers = frac7!5! 2! = 21 ### Case 2: Using four 1s, two 2s, and one 3 Digits: \1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3\ textTotal numbers = frac7!4! 2! 1! = 105 ### Case 3: Using three 1s and four 2s Digits: \1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2\ textTotal numbers = frac7!3! 4! = 35 ### Step 1: Summing the Total Cases textTotal elements = 21 + 105 + 35 = 161 ### Pattern Recognition Always set a base state (e.g., all 1s) to compute the baseline sum, then distribute the remainder explicitly via integer partitions to verify all distinct permutation paths systematically. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Mathematics: Permutations and Combinations

Q75 2025 Subsets without Consecutive Elements
For n geq 2 , let S_n denote the set of all subsets of \1, 2, dots, n\ with no two consecutive numbers. For example \1, 3, 5\ in mathbfS_6 , but \1, 2, 4\ notin mathbfS_6 . Then n(mathbfS_5) is equal to
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
Q63 2025 Geometry Problems in Combinatorics
There are 12 points in a plane, no three of which are in the same straight line, except 5 points which are collinear. Then the total number of triangles that can be formed with the vertices at any three of these 12 points is
  • A. 230
  • B. 220
  • C. 200
  • D. 210

Solution

### 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 2025 Rank of a Word in Dictionary
If all the words with or without meaning made using all the letters of the word “KANPUR” are arranged as in a dictionary, then the word at 440^textth position in this arrangement, is :
  • 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
Q51 2025 Permutations under Restrictions
The number of different 5 digit numbers greater than 50000 that can be formed using the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, such that the sum of their first and last digits should not be more than 8, is (1) 4608 (2) 5720 (3) 5719 (4) 4607
  • A. 4608
  • B. 5720
  • C. 5719
  • D. 4607

Solution

### Related Formula For a 5-digit number, total permutations with repetition allowed for n digits is given by: textTotal Cases = d_1 times d_2 times d_3 times d_4 times d_5 ### Core Logic We need 5-digit numbers greater than 50000 using digits \0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7\ under the restriction d_1 + d_5 le 8. Let's analyze the pairs (d_1, d_5) where d_1 in \5, 6, 7\: Case I: d_1 = 5 Rightarrow d_5 in \0, 1, 2, 3\ (4 options) Case II: d_1 = 6 Rightarrow d_5 in \0, 1, 2\ (3 options) Case III: d_1 = 7 Rightarrow d_5 in \0, 1\ (2 options) Total choices for the first and last digits combined = 4 + 3 + 2 = 9 pairs. ### Step 1: Calculating Intermediate Choices The middle three digits (d_2, d_3, d_4) have no restrictions and can each be chosen from any of the 8 available digits. textNumber of ways = 9 times (8 times 8 times 8) = 4608 ### Step 2: Subtracting Boundary Conditions Since the question specifies numbers strictly greater than 50000, we must check if 50000 is included in our count. For d_1=5 and d_5=0, setting d_2=d_3=d_4=0 gives exactly 50000, which is included in the 4608 count. textTotal numbers = 4608 - 1 = 4607 ### Pattern Recognition Always look carefully at edge constraints like "greater than". Counting the number 50000 explicitly avoids typical off-by-one errors. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Maths: Permutations and Combinations
Q67 2025 Combinatorial Coefficients and Locus
Let ^nC_r - 1 = 28, ^nC_r = 56 and ^nC_r + 1 = 70. Let A(4cost, 4sint), B(2sint, -2cost) and C(3r - n, r^2 - n - 1) be the vertices of a triangle ABC, where t is a parameter. If (3x - 1)^2 + (3y)^2 = alpha, is the locus of the centroid of triangle ABC, then alpha equals: (1) 20 (2) 8 (3) 6 (4) 18
  • A. 20
  • B. 8
  • C. 6
  • D. 18

Solution

### Related Formula Consecutive combinations ratio property: frac^nC_r-1^nC_r = fracrn-r+1 ### Core Logic Setting up ratios between consecutive given coefficients: frac2856 = frac12 = fracrn-r+1 implies 3r = n + 1 quad dots (1) frac5670 = frac45 = fracr+1n-r implies 9r = 4n - 5 quad dots (2) Solving equations (1) and (2) gives r = 3 and n = 8. ### Step 1: Locating Vertices and Centroid Locus Substituting values for point C gives C(1,0). Let the centroid coordinates be (x,y): 3x = 4cos t + 2sin t + 1 implies 3x - 1 = 4cos t + 2sin t 3y = 4sin t - 2cos t + 0 implies 3y = 4sin t - 2cos t ### Step 2: Squaring and Summing Trig Components Squaring and adding both parametric tracking components eliminates t: (3x - 1)^2 + (3y)^2 = (4cos t + 2sin t)^2 + (4sin t - 2cos t)^2 = 16 + 4 = 20 Thus, alpha = 20. ### Pattern Recognition Symmetric parameter sets of form (Acos t + Bsin t)^2 + (Asin t - Bcos t)^2 collapse instantly into A^2 + B^2 via basic Pythagorean identities. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Maths: Straight Lines Class 11 Maths: Permutations and Combinations
