explain kardo yar


729=27*27
so, bhai just take an example of 4*4 saplings..and try to build logic..waise hee ho jayega..

In how many ways can four letters of the word SERIES be arranged ?
24
42
84
102
@sujamait said:
8 is not possible. and 7 is also not possible as perimeter of circle is 88.out of 4,6 I will go with 4
why cant it be 7?...

4 diff= 4!

2 same 2 diff= 2c1*4!/2! = 4!
2 same 2 same other=1

total 49 :banghead:

102
4!+3C2*4!+4!/2!2!

7 se 87 aa rha tha perimeer of hexa..seemed v close to be ..so...hone ko toh 4,6,7 mein se ho sakta hai..but exam mein itna time nhn hua toh yeh wali approach ka risk lene ki koshish..

but otherwise kaise solve karoge?...

102 =

all different = 4!
2 same 2 diff = 2c1 * 3c1*4!/2!
2same pairs = 4!/2!2!
Domain of f(x) =1/loga(b)

a = base = 5-|x|
b = root(x^3-7x^2+14x-8)

a> (0,)
b> ( -5, -4) U ( -4,4) U (4,5)
c> (1,2) U (4,5)
d>
(1,2) U (4,)

sochna padega..OA toh batado :/

The word has 2S,2E,1R,1I
When all the words chosen r different total arrangements will be
4!
When Either 2S or 2E r chosen then
Total arrangements will be
4!/2! but either of 2S or 2E can be chosen hence 2 cases rest 2 alphabets can be selected in 3C2 ways
hence total
2*3C2*4!/2
Lastly when 2E nd 2S r selected
4!/2!2!
@mailtoankit said:

there are 4 different letters S, E, R, I..
Arrangement with all different letters 4! = 24
with 2 same, the same letter can be E or S.. so total ways of selection 2*3(two of 3 other letters) arrangement in 4!/2!.. so total 2*3*4!/2! = 72
two same + two same - 4!/2!*2! = 6

total 24+72+6 = 102
