oh did not read "die"

would be 10c5

p, Q = q+1,R=r+2,S =s+3,T=t+4 and range is 1 to 10 so, 10C5 ??

Edit : 10C2 = 252..!

Nice trick Sir. @bodhi_vriksha _/\_

An intelligence agency forms two digit code consisting of distinct digits selected from 0 through 9 such that first digit is not 0. Some codes, when hand written on slip, can however potentially create confusion when read upside down- for example 61 may appear as 19. Find the number of codes for which there is no confusion.a)73 b)70 c)71 d)67No OA

Dice mein max number 6 hota hai..

So, min 1; max 6+4 = 10.. Hence, 10C5 I suppose..

Let me take some example:

Find the number of four digit numbers abcd such that a
Clearly a, b, c, d are
distinct positive integers
varying from 1 to 9.
So they can be selected in C(9, 4) ways and arranged in one possible arrangement only. Thus required numbers are C(9, 4)

Next now..
Find the number of four digit numbers abcd such that a ≤
b ≤
c ≤
d.

Now the a, b, c, d can be equal also. So to remove the equality part see the trick carefully.
We know that a b, can you tell me smallest number which is certainly greater than a.
........
........
It is b + 1, I don't know whether you guessed it correctly or not.

Anyway now I can write that a b is equivalent to a
Similarly, extending this, the given inequality can be re-written as a and d + 3 can be at most 9 + 3 = 12.
And you just need to select four
distinct positive integers
from 1 to 12.
And this can be done in C(12, 4) ways.

sorry sir ........... this bold part is not very clear.. can u plzz..(and d + 3 can be at most 9 + 3 = 12.
And you just need to select four
distinct positive integers
from 1 to 12.)

Can you please explain it ?

Though there is nothing like bold part in your post but your query is understandable.

See when I say a, b + 1, c + 2, d + 3 are four distinct positive integers from 1 to 12 such that a
- then the largest selection of four integers will be {9,10,11,12} for {a, b+1, c+2, d+3} which corresponds to {a,b,c,d} = {9,9,9,9} i.e. 9999 which is largest permissible number

- and the smallest selection of four integers will be {1,2,3,4} for {a, b+1, c+2, d+3} which corresponds to {a,b,c,d} = {1,1,1,1} i.e. 1111 which is smallest permissible number.

Does this make sense to you? :)

It'll be simply 1/4(4*pi*6^2 + 4*pi*4^2) + pi*6^2 = 88pi

a)88 pi ?
Outer surface area = 52 pi

flat bottom face surface area = 26 pi

Annular surface area = 10 pi

why are we not taking plane surface area of smaller sphere???

yea 88 pi is the OA
@Koushik98 said:

We are taking that into consideration, dear. But notice that annular(ring shaped) area above/between the two curved surfaces which is basically the difference of 1/2 circle's area of both radius 6 and 4 units..
