Number of ways in which we can divide 20 men and 20 women into 20 couples ??

A box B1 contains 5 yellow and 4 green balls and another box B2 contains 4 yellow, 3 green and 2 red balls. First, a ball is transferred from B2 to B1 at random and then a ball is transferred at random back from B1 to B2. What is the probability that at the end of the two transfers, the configuration of the boxes remains the same as what it was?

AB is a chord of a circle. AB = 5 cm. A tangent parallel to AB touches the minor arc AB at E.

What is the radius of the circle?

A. AB is not a diameter of the circle.

B. The distance between AB and the tangent at E is 5 cm.

Doubt: Using second statement we do get a unique value of r but such a circle is not possible. What should be marked in that case.

In a cricket match between India and Srilanka, Malinga, a Srilankan pace bowler, can bowl at most four overs out of 20 overs in the match. No bowler can bowl two consecutive overs. If it is known that the 20th over was bowled by Malinga, which was also his fourth over, then in how many ways could he have bowled the rest of his overs?
