Bar Charts Questions Answers

1. The foreign exchange reserves in 1997-98 was how many times that in 1994-95

1. 1.5
2. 2
3. 3.5
4. 2.6

Required Ratio = 5040

                              3360

2. What was the percentage increase in the foreign exchange reserves in 1997-98 over 1993-94 ?

1. 80%
2. 90%
3. 100%
4. 110%

Foreign exchange reserve in 1997-98 = 5040 million US $
Foreign exchange reserve in 1993-94 = 2520 million US $

Increase = 5040 - 2520 = 2520 million US $

Percentage Increase =



25202520∗100=100%.

Permutation and Combination

1. Factorial Notation:
   Let n be a positive integer. Then, factorial n, denoted n! is defined as:
   n! = n(n - 1)(n - 2) ... 3.2.1.
   Examples:
   1. We define 0! = 1.
   2. 4! = (4 x 3 x 2 x 1) = 24.
   3. 5! = (5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1) = 120.
2. Permutations:
   The different arrangements of a given number of things by taking some or all at a time, are called permutations.
   Examples:
   1. All permutations (or arrangements) made with the letters a, b, c by taking two at a time are (ab, ba, ac, ca, bc, cb).
   2. All permutations made with the letters a, b, c taking all at a time are:
      ( abc, acb, bac, bca, cab, cba)
3. Number of Permutations:
   Number of all permutations of n things, taken r at a time, is given by:

   nPr = n(n - 1)(n - 2) ... (n - r + 1) =	n!
   	(n - r)!

   Examples:
   1. ⁶P₂ = (6 x 5) = 30.
   2. ⁷P₃ = (7 x 6 x 5) = 210.
   3. Cor. number of all permutations of n things, taken all at a time = n!.
4. An Important Result:
   If there are n subjects of which p₁ are alike of one kind; p₂ are alike of another kind;p₃ are alike of third kind and so on and p_r are alike of r^th kind,
   such that (p₁ + p₂ + ... p_r) = n.

   Then, number of permutations of these n objects is =	n!
   	(p1!).(p2)!.....(pr!)

	A. 63 B. 90 C. 126 D. 45 E. 135 Answer: Option A Explanation: Required number of ways = (7C5 x 3C2) = (7C2 x 3C1) = 7 x 6 x 3 = 63. 2 x 1

2.	How many 4-letter words with or without meaning, can be formed out of the letters of the word, 'LOGARITHMS', if repetition of letters is not allowed?
	A. 40 B. 400 C. 5040 D. 2520 Answer: Option C Explanation: 'LOGARITHMS' contains 10 different letters. Required number of words = Number of arrangements of 10 letters, taking 4 at a time. = 10P4 = (10 x 9 x 8 x 7) = 5040.
