Question

Five distinct letters are to be transmitted through a communication channel. A total number of 15 blanks is to be inserted between the two letters with at least three between every two. The number of ways in which this can be done is -

  1. 1200    
  2. 1800    
  3. 2400    
  4. 3000    

The correct answer is: 2400


    For 1 less or equal thanless or equal than 4, let xi (greater or equal than 3) be the number of blanks between ith and (i + 1)th letters. Then,
    x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 = 15 …..(1)
    The number of solutions of (1)
    = coefficient of t15 in (t3 + t4 +….)4
    = coefficient of t3 in (1 – t)–4
    = coefficient of t3 in [1 + 4C1 + 5C2 t2 + 6C3 t3 + …..]
    = 6C3 = 20.
    But 5 letters can be permuted in 5! = 120 ways.
    Thus, the required number arrangements
    = (120) (20) = 2400.
    Hence

    Finding the smallest common multiple between any two or more numbers is done using the least common multiple (LCM) approach. A number that is a multiple of two or more other numbers is said to be a common multiple. Here we understood the concept of LCM and the pairs, so the total pairs can be 225.

    How many different words can be formed by jumbling the letters in the word MISSISSIPPI in which not two S are adjacent ?

    The different ways in which items from a set may be chosen, usually without replacement, to construct subsets, are called permutations and combinations. When the order of the selection is a consideration, this selection of subsets is referred to as a permutation; when it is not, it is referred to as a combination. So the final answer is equals 7 cross times space C presuperscript 6 subscript 4 cross times C presuperscript 8 subscript 4.
