Question

The number of ways in which 20 persons can sit on 8 chairs round a circular table is-

  1. 20P8    
  2. 19P8    
  3. 1/8(20P8)    
  4. None of these    

hintHint:

Use formula
P presuperscript n subscript r space equals space fraction numerator n factorial over denominator left parenthesis n minus r right parenthesis factorial end fraction

C presuperscript n subscript r space equals space fraction numerator n factorial over denominator r factorial left parenthesis n minus r right parenthesis factorial end fraction

The correct answer is: 1/8(20P8)


    20 persons on 8 chairs (selecting 8 persons out of 20) = C presuperscript 20 subscript 8

    In how many ways can six different rings be wear in four fingers?

    It is important to note that we have used a basic fundamental principle of counting to find the total ways. Also, it is important to notice that each ring has 4 ways as it has not been given that each finger must have at least one ring. So, there can be 6 rings in a finger alone and remaining all the fingers empty.

    A tea party is arranged of 16 persons along two sides of a long table with 8 chairs on each side. 4 men wish to sit on one particular side and 2 on the other side. In how many ways can they be seated ?

    Whenever we face such types of problems the key point is to make special arrangements for the people who are in need of it, then arrange the remaining. Now combination comes with permutation as there are possibilities of these 8 people sitting on one side to rearrange. Thus this concept into consideration, to get through the answer.
