Maharashtra State Board 11th Commerce Maths Solutions Chapter 6 Permutations and Combinations Ex 6.3

Question 1.
Find n if ⁿP₆ : ⁿP₃ = 120 : 1
Solution:
ⁿP₆ : ⁿP₃ = 120 : 1
∴ \(\frac{n !}{(n-6) !} \div \frac{n !}{(n-3) !}=\frac{120}{1}\)
∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{n} !}{(\mathrm{n}-6) !} \times \frac{(\mathrm{n}-3) !}{\mathrm{n} !}\) = 120
∴ \(\frac{n !}{(n-6) !} \times \frac{(n-3)(n-4)(n-5)(n-6) !}{n !}\) = 120
∴ (n – 3) (n – 4) (n – 5) = 120
∴ (n – 3) (n – 4) (n – 5) = 6 × 5 × 4
Comparing on both sides, we get
n – 3 = 6
∴ n = 9

Question 2.
Find m and n if ^(m+n)P₂ = 56 and ^(m-n)P₂ = 12
Solution:
^m+nP₂ = 56
∴ \(\frac{(\mathrm{m}+\mathrm{n}) !}{(\mathrm{m}+\mathrm{n}-2) !}\) = 56
∴ \(\frac{(m+n)(m+n-1)(m+n-2) !}{(m+n-2) !}\) = 56
∴ (m + n) (m + n – 1) = 8 × 7
Comparing on both sides, we get
m + n = 8 …..(i)
Also ^m-nP₂ = 12
∴ \(\frac{(m-n) !}{(m-n-2) !}\) = 12
∴ \(\frac{(m-n)(m-n-1)(m-n-2) !}{(m-n-2) !}\) = 12
∴ (m – n) (m – n – 1) = 4 × 3
Comparing on both sides, we get
m – n = 4 …..(ii)
Adding (i) and (ii), we get
2m = 12
∴ m = 6
Substituting m = 6 in (ii), we get
6 – n = 4
∴ n = 2

Question 3.
Find r if ¹²P_r-2 : ¹¹P_r-1 = 3 : 14
Solution:

∴ (14 – r)(13 – r) = 8 × 7
Comparing on both sides, we get
14 – r = 8
∴ r = 6

Question 4.
Show that (n + 1) ⁿP_r = (n – r + 1) ⁽ⁿ⁺¹⁾P_r.
Solution:

Question 5.
How many 4 letter words can be formed using letters in the word MADHURI if
(i) letters can be repeated?
(ii) letters cannot be repeated?
Solution:
There are 7 letters in the word MADHURI.
(i) A 4 letter word is to be formed from the letters of the word MADHURI and repetition of letters is allowed.
∴ 1st letter can be filled in 7 ways.
2nd letter can be filled in 7 ways.
3rd letter can be filled in 7 ways.
4th letter can be filled in 7 ways.
∴ Total no. of ways a 4-letter word can be formed = 7 × 7 × 7 × 7 = 2401
∴ 2401 four-lettered words can be formed when repetition of letters is allowed.

(ii) When repetition of letters is not allowed, the number of 4-letter words formed from the letters of the word MADHURI is
⁷P₄ = \(\frac{7 !}{(7-4) !}=\frac{7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 !}{3 !}\) = 840
∴ 840 four-letter words can be formed when repetition of letters is not allowed.

Alternate method:
There are 7 letters in the word MADHURI.
(i) Since letters can be repeated
∴ In all places of a four-letter word, any one of seven letters M, A, D, H, U, R, I can appear.
∴ Using the Multiplication theorem, we get
Number of four-letter words with repetition of letters M, A, D, H, U, R, I = 7 × 7 × 7 × 7 = 2401

(ii) Since the letters cannot be repeated therefore 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th places can be filled in 7, 6, 5, 4 ways respectively
∴ Using the multiplication theorem, we get
Number of four-letter words, with no repetition of letters M, A, D, H, U, R, I = 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 = 840

Question 6.
Determine the number of arrangements of letters of the word ALGORITHM if
(i) vowels are always together.
(ii) no two vowels are together.
(iii) Consonants are at even positions
(iv) O is first and T is last.
Solution:
A word is to be formed using the letters of the word ALGORITHM.
There are 9 letters in the word ALGORITHM.
(i) When vowels are always together:
There are 3 vowels in the word ALGORITHM. (i.e, A, I, O)
Let us consider these 3 vowels as one unit.
This unit with 6 other letters is to be arranged.
∴ It becomes an arrangement of 7 things which can be done in ⁷P₇ i.e., 7! ways and 3 vowels can be arranged among themselves in ³P₃ i.e., 3! ways.
∴ the total number of ways in which the word can be formed = 7! × 3!
= 5040 × 6
= 30240
∴ 30240 words can be formed if vowels are always together.

(ii) When no two vowels are together:
There are 6 consonants in the word ALGORITHM.
They can be arranged among themselves in ⁶P₆ i.e., 6! ways.
Let consonants be denoted by C.
_C_C_ C_C_C_C_
6 consonants create 7 gaps in which 3 vowels are to arranged.
∴ 3 vowels can be filled in ⁷P₃
= \(\frac{7 !}{(7-3) !}\)
= \(\frac{7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 !}{4 !}\)
= 210 ways
∴ total number of ways in which the word can be formed = 6! × 210
= 720 × 210
= 151200
∴ 151200 words can be formed if no two vowels are together.

(iii) When consonants are at even positions:
There are 4 even places and 6 consonants in the word ALGORITHM.
1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th even places are filled in 6, 5, 4, 3 way respectively.
∴ The number of ways to fill four even places by consonants = 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 = 360
The remaining 5 letters (3 vowels and 2 consonants) can be arranged among themselves in ⁵P₅ i.e., 5! ways.
∴ Total number of ways the words can be formed
In which even places are occupied by consonants = 360 × 5!
= 360 × 120
= 43200
∴ 43200 words can be formed if even positions are occupied by consonants.

(iv) When beginning with O and ends with T:
All the letters of the word ALGORITHM are to be arranged among themselves such that arrangement begins with O and ends with T.
7 letters other than O and T can be filled between O and T in ⁷P₇ i.e., 7! ways = 5040 ways.
∴ 5040 words beginning with O and ending with T can be formed.

Question 7.
In a group photograph, 6 teachers and principals are in the first row and 18 students are in the second row. There are 12 boys and 6 girls among the students. If the middle position is reserved for the principal and if no two girls are together, find the number of arrangements.
Solution:
In 1st row middle seat is fixed for the principal.
Also 1st row, 6 teachers can be arranged among themselves in ⁶P₆ i.e., 6! ways.
In the 2nd row, 12 boys can be arranged among themselves in ¹²P₁₂ i.e., 12! ways.
13 gaps are created by 12 boys, in which 6 girls are to be arranged.
together which can be done in ¹³P₆ ways.
∴ total number of arrangements = 6! × 12! × ¹³P₆ …..[using Multiplications Principle]
= 6! × 12! × \(\frac{13 !}{(13-6) !}\)
= 6! × 12! × \(\frac{13 !}{7 !}\)
= \(\frac{6 ! \times 12 ! \times 13 !}{7 \times 6 !}\)
= \(\frac{12 ! 13 !}{7}\)

Question 8.
Find the number of ways letters of the word HISTORY can be arranged if
(i) Y and T are together
(ii) Y is next to T.
Solution:
There are 7 letters in the word HISTORY
(i) When ‘Y’ and ‘T’ are together.
Let us consider ‘ Y’ and ‘T’ as one unit
This unit with the other 5 letters is to be arranged.
∴ The number of arrangements of one unit and 5 letters = ⁶P₆ = 6!
Also, ‘Y’ and ‘T’ can be arranged among themselves in ²P₂ i.e., 2! ways.
∴ a total number of arrangements when Y and T are always together = 6! × 2!
= 720 × 2
= 1440
∴ 1440 words can be formed if Y and T are together.

(ii) When ‘Y’ is next to ‘T’
Let us take this (‘Y’ next to ‘T’) as one unit.
This unit with 5 other letters is to be arranged.
∴ The number of arrangements of 6 letters and one unit = ⁶P₆ = 6!
Also ‘Y’ has to be always next to ‘T’.
So they can be arranged in 1 way.
∴ total number of arrangements possible when Y is next to T = 6! × 1 = 720
∴ 720 words can be formed if Y is next to T.

Question 9.
Find the number of arrangements of the letters in the word BERMUDA so that consonants and vowels are in the same relative positions.
Solution:
There are 7 letters in the word “BERMUDA” out of which 3 are vowels and 4 are consonants.
If relative positions of consonants and vowels are not changed.
3 vowels can be arranged among themselves in ³P₃ i.e., 3! ways.
4 consonants can be arranged among themselves in ⁴P₄ i.e., 4! ways.
∴ total no. of arrangements possible if relative positions of vowels and consonants are not changed = 3! × 4!
= 6 × 24
= 144

Question 10.
Find the number of 4-digit numbers that can be formed using the digits 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8 if
(i) digits can be repeated
(ii) digits cannot be repeated
Solution:
(i) A 4 digit number is to be made from the digits 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8 such that digits can be repeated.
∴ The unit’s place digit can be filled in 6 ways.
10’s place digit can be filled in 6 ways.
100’s place digit can be filled in 6 ways.
1000’s place digit can be filled in 6 ways.
∴ total number of numbers = 6 × 6 × 6 × 6 = 6⁴ = 1296
∴ 1296 four-digit numbers can be formed if repetition of digits is allowed.

(ii) A 4 different digit number is to be made from the digits 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8 without repetition of digits.
∴ 4 different digits are to be arranged from 6 given digits which can be done in ⁶P₄
= \(\frac{6 !}{(6-4) !}\)
= \(\frac{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 !}{2 !}\)
= 360 ways
∴ 360 four-digit numbers can be formed, if repetition of digits is not allowed.

Question 11.
How many numbers can be formed using the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 without repetition so that the resulting numbers are between 100 and 1000?
Solution:
A number between 100 and 1000 is a 3 digit number and is to be formed from the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, without repetition of digits.
∴ 100’s place digit must be a non-zero number which can be filled in 5 ways.
10’s place digits can be filled in 5 ways.
Unit’s place digit can be filled in 4 ways.
∴ total number of ways the number can be formed = 5 × 5 × 4 = 100
∴ 100 numbers between 100 and 1000 can be formed.

Question 12.
Find the number of 6-digit numbers using the digits 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 without repetition. How many of these numbers are
(i) divisible by 5?
(ii) not divisible by 5?
Solution:
A number of 6 different digits is to be formed from the digits 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 which can be done in ⁶P₆ i.e., 6! = 720 ways
(i) If the number is divisible by 5, then
The unit’s place digit must be 5, and hence unit’s place can be filled in 1 way
Other 5 digits can be arranged among themselves in ⁵P₅ i.e., 5! ways
∴ Total number of ways in which numbers divisible by 5 can be formed = 1 × 5! = 120

(ii) If the number is not divisible by 5, then
Unit’s place can be any digit from 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 which can be selected in 5 ways.
Other 5 digits can be arranged in ⁵P₅ i.e., 5! ways
∴ The total number of ways in which numbers not divisible by 5 can be formed = 5 × 5!
= 5 × 120
= 600

Question 13.
A code word is formed by two distinct English letters followed by two non-zero distinct digits. Find the number of such code words. Also, find the number of such code words that end with an even digit.
Solution:
(i) There is a total of 26 alphabets.
A code word contains 2 English alphabets.
∴ 2 alphabets can be filled in ²⁶P₂
= \(\frac{26 !}{(26-2) !}\)
= \(\frac{26 \times 25 \times 24 !}{24 !}\)
= 650 ways
Also, alphabets to be followed by two distinct non-zero digits from 1 to 9 which can be filled in ⁹P₂
= \(\frac{9 !}{(9-2) !}\)
= \(\frac{9 \times 8 \times 7 !}{7 !}\)
= 72 ways
∴ Total number of a code words = 650 × 72 = 46800

(ii) There are total 26 alphabets.
A code word contains 2 English alphabets.
∴ 2 alphabets can be filled in ²⁶P₂
= \(\frac{26}{(26-2) !}\)
= \(\frac{26 \times 25 \times 24 !}{24 !}\)
= 650 ways
For a code word to end with an even integer, the digit in the unit’s place should be an even number between 1 to 9 which can be filled in 4 ways.
Also, 10’s place can be filled in 8 ways.
∴ Total number of codewords = 650 × 4 × 8 = 20800 ways
∴ 20800 codewords end with an even integer.

Question 14.
Find the number of ways in which 5 letters can be posted in 3 post boxes if any number of letters can be posted in a post box.
Solution:
There are 5 letters and 3 post boxes and any number of letters can be posted in all three post boxes.
∴ Each letter can be posted in 3 ways.
∴ Total number of ways in which 5 letters can be posted = 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 243

Question 15.
Find the number of arranging 11 distinct objects taken 4 at a time so that a specified object
(i) always occurs
(ii) never occurs
Solution:
There are 11 distinct objects and 4 are to be taken at a time.
(i) The number of permutations of n distinct objects, taken r at a time, when one specified object will always occur is r × ^(n-1)P_(r-1)
Here, r = 4, n = 11
∴ The number of permutations of 4 out of 11 objects when a specified object occurs.
= 4 × ^(11-1)P_(4-1)
= 4 × ¹⁰P₃
= 4 × \(\frac{10 !}{(10-3) !}\)
= 4 × \(\frac{10 !}{7 !}\)
= 4 × \(\frac{10 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7 !}{7 !}\)
= 2880
∴ There are 2880 permutations of 11 distinct objects, taken 4 at a time, in which one specified object always occurs.

(ii) When one specified object does not occur then 4 things are to be arranged from the remaining 10 things, which can be done in ¹⁰P₄ ways
= 10 × 9 × 8 × 7 ways
= 5040 ways
∴ There are 5040 permutations of 11 distinct objects, taken 4 at a time, in which one specified object never occurs.

Hence, it can be anyone from digits 1, 3, 5, 6
∴ 100’s place digit can be selected in 4 ways.
0 can appear in 10’s and unit’s place and digits can be repeated.
∴ 10’s place digit can be selected in 5 ways and the unit’s place digit can be selected in 5 ways.
∴ By using the fundamental principle of multiplication,
the total number of three-digit numbers = 4 × 5 × 5 = 100

(ii) When repetition of digits is not allowed:
100’s place digit should be a non-zero number.
Hence, it can be anyone from digits 1, 3, 5, 6
∴ 100’s place digit can be selected in 4 ways

∴ By using fundamental principle of multiplication,
the total number of 3-digit numbers = 5 × 5 × 5 = 125

Question 7.
A letter lock has 3 rings and each ring has 5 letters. Determine the maximum number of trials that may be required to open the lock.
Solution:
A letter lock has 3 rings, each ring containing 5 different letters.
∴ A letter from each ring can be selected in 5 ways.
∴ By using fundamental principle of multiplication,
the total number of trials that can be made = 5 × 5 × 5 = 125
Out of these 124 wrong attempts are made and in the 125th attempt,
the lock gets opened, for a maximum number of trials.
∴ A maximum number of trials required to open the lock is 125.

Question 8.
In a test that has 5 true/false questions, no student has got all correct answers and no sequence of answers is repeated. What is the maximum number of students for this to be possible?
Solution:
For a set of 5 true/false questions, each question can be answered in 2 ways.
∴ By using fundamental principle of multiplication,
the total number of possible sequences of answers = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 32
Since no student has written all the correct answers.
∴ Total number of sequences of answers given by the students in the class = 32 – 1 = 31
Also, no student has given the same sequence of answers.
∴ Maximum number of students in the class = Number of sequences of answers given by the students = 31

Question 9.
How many numbers between 100 and 1000 have 4 in the unit’s place?
Solution:
Numbers between 100 and 1000 are 3-digit numbers.
A 3-digit number is to be formed from the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 where the unit place digit is 4.
Since Unit’s place digit is 4.
∴ it can be selected in 1 way only.
10’s place digit can be selected in 10 ways.
For 3-digit number 100’s place digit should be a non-zero number.
∴ 100’s place digit can be selected in 9 ways.
∴ By using fundamental principle of multiplication,
total number of numbers between 100 and 1000 which have 4 in the units place = 1 × 10 × 9 = 90

Question 10.
How many numbers between 100 and 1000 have the digit 7 exactly once?
Solution:
Numbers between 100 and 1000 are 3-digit numbers.
A 3-digit number is to be formed from the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, where exactly one of the digits is 7.
When 7 is in the unit’s place
The unit’s place digit is 7.
∴ it can be selected in 1 way only.
10’s place digit can be selected in 9 ways.
100’s place digit can be selected in 8 ways.
∴ total number of numbers which have 7 in the unit’s place = 1 × 9 × 8 = 72
When 7 is in 10’s place
The unit’s place digit can be selected in 9 ways.
10’s place digit is 7
∴ it can be selected in 1 way only.
100’s place digit can be selected in 8 ways.
∴ total number of numbers which have 7 in 10’s place = 9 × 1 × 8 = 72
When 7 is in 100’s place
The unit’s place digit can be selected in 9 ways.
10’s place digit can be selected in 9 ways.
100’s place digit is 7
∴ it can be selected in 1 way.
∴ total numbers which have 7 in 100’s place = 9 × 9 × 1 = 81
∴ total number of numbers between 100 and 1000 having digit 7 exactly once = 72 + 72 + 81 = 225.

Question 11.
How many four-digit numbers will not exceed 7432 if they are formed using the digits 2, 3, 4, 7 without repetition?
Solution:
Among many set’s of digits, the greatest number is possible when digits are arranged in descending order.
∴ 7432 is the greatest number, formed from the digits 2, 3, 4, 7.
∴ Since a 4-digit number is to be formed from the digits 2, 3, 4, 7, where repetition of the digit is not allowed.
∴ 1000’s place digit can be selected in 4 ways.
100’s place digit can be selected in 3 ways.
10’s place digit can be selected in 2 ways.
The unit’s place digit can be selected in 1 way.
∴ Total number of numbers not exceeding 7432 that can be formed from the digits 2, 3, 4, 7
= Total number of four-digit numbers formed from the digits 2, 3, 4, 7
= 4 × 3 × 2 × 1
= 24

Question 12.
If numbers are formed using digits 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 without repetition, how many of them will exceed 400?
Solution:
Case I: Three-digit numbers with 4 occurring in hundred’s place:
100’s place digit can be selected in 1 way.
Ten’s place can be filled by any one of the numbers 2, 3, 5, 6.
∴ 10’s place digit can be selected in 4 ways.
The unit’s place digit can be selected in 3 ways.
∴ total number of numbers which have 4 in 100’s place = 1 × 4 × 3 = 12

Case II: Three-digit numbers more than 500
100’s place digit can be selected in 2 ways.
10’s place digit can be selected in 4 ways.
Unit’s place digit can be selected in 3 ways.
∴ total number of three digit numbers more than 500 = 2 × 4 × 3 = 24

Case III: Number of four digit numbers formed from 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Since, repetition of digits is not allowed
∴ total four digit numbers formed = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 = 120

Case IV: Number of five digit numbers formed from 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Since, repetition of digits is not allowed
∴ total five digit numbers formed = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 120
∴ total number of numbers that exceed 400 = 12 + 24 + 120 + 120 = 276

Question 13.
How many numbers formed with the digits 0, 1, 2, 5, 7, 8 will fall between 13 and 1000 if digits can be repeated?
Solution:
Case I: 2-digit numbers more than 13, less than 20, formed from the digits 0, 1, 2, 5, 7, 8
Number of such numbers = 3

Case II: 2-digit numbers more than 20 formed from 0, 1, 2, 5, 7, 8
Ten’s place digit is selected from 2, 5, 7, 8.
∴ Ten’s place digit can be selected in 4 ways.
Unit’s place digit is anyone from 0, 1, 2, 5, 7, 8
∴ The unit’s place digit can be selected in 6 ways.
Using the multiplication principle,
the number of such numbers (repetition allowed) = 4 × 6 = 24

Case III: 3-digit numbers formed from 0, 1, 2, 5, 7, 8
100’s place digit is anyone from 1, 2, 5, 7, 8.
∴ 100’s place digit can be selected in 5 ways.
As digits can be repeated, the 10’s place and unit’s place digits are selected from 0, 1, 2, 5, 7, 8
∴ 10’s place and unit’s place digits can be selected in 6 ways each.
Using multiplication principle,
the number of such numbers (repetition allowed) = 5 × 6 × 6 = 180
All cases are mutually exclusive and exhaustive.
∴ Required number = 3 + 24 + 180 = 207

Question 14.
A school has three gates and four staircases from the first floor to the second floor. How many ways does a student have to go from outside the school to his classroom on the second floor?
Solution:
A student can go inside the school from outside in 3 ways and from the first floor to the second floor in 4 ways.
∴ Number of ways to choose gates = 3
Number of ways to choose staircase = 4
∴ By using fundamental principle of multiplication,
number of ways in which a student has to go from outside the school to his classroom = 4 × 3 = 12

Question 15.
How many five-digit numbers formed using the digit 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are divisible by 3 if digits are not repeated?
Solution:
For a number to be divisible by 3.
The sum of digits must be divisible by 3.
Given 6 digits are 0, 1,2, 3, 4, 5.
Sum of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 = 15, which is divisible by 3.
∴ There are two cases of 5 digit numbers formed from 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and divisible by 3.
Either 3 is selected in 5 digits (and 0 not selected) or 3 is not selected in 5 digits (and 0 is selected)
Case I:
3 is not selected (and 0 is selected) i.e., the digits are 0, 1, 2, 4, 5.
10000’s place digit can be selected in 4 ways (as 0 cannot appear).
As digits are not repeated, 1000’s place digit can be selected in 4 ways.
100’s place digit can be selected in 3 ways.
10’s place digit can be selected in 2 ways.
The unit’s place digit can be selected in 1 way.
∴ Using multiplication theorem,
Number of 5-digit number formed from 0, 1, 2, 4, 5 (with no repetition of digits) = 4 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 96

Case II:
3 is selected (and 0 is not selected) i.e., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
10000’s place digit can be selected in 5 ways.

10’s place digit can be selected in 2 ways.
The unit’s place digit can be selected in 1 way.
Using multiplication theorem,
Number of 5-digit numbers formed from 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 120
Both the cases are mutually exclusive and exhaustive.
∴ Required number = 96 + 120 = 216

Solution:
Here, Σ\(x_{\mathrm{i}}^{2}\) = 90, Σx_iy_i = 60, r = 0.8, σ_y = 2.5
Here, x_i and y_i are the deviations from their respective means.
∴ If X_i, Y_i are elements of x and y series respectively, then
X_i – \(\bar{x}\) = x_i and Y_i – \(\bar{y}\) = y_i
∴ Σx_iy_i = \(\Sigma\left(\mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{i}}-\bar{x}\right)\left(\mathrm{Y}_{\mathrm{i}}-\bar{y}\right)\) = 60, \(\sum x_{\mathrm{i}}^{2}=\sum\left(\mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{i}}-\bar{x}\right)^{2}\) = 90

The correlation coefficient remains unaffected by the change of origin and scale.
i.e., if u_i = \(\frac{x_{i}-\mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{h}}\) and v_i = \(\frac{y_{i}-\mathrm{b}}{\mathrm{k}}\), then Corr(U, V) = ±Corr(X, Y).
according to the same or opposite signs of h and k.
(i) u_i = \(\frac{2\left(x_{i}-0\right)}{1}\), v_i = \(\frac{y_{i}-0}{1}\)
Here, h = 1 and k = 1 are of the same signs.
∴ Corr (U, V) = Corr (X, Y) = 0.8

(ii) u_i = \(\frac{x_{i}-0}{2}\), v_i = \(\frac{y_{\mathrm{i}}-0}{1}\)
Here, h = 2 and k = 1 are of the same signs.

Will they get the same value of the correlation coefficient or different values? Justify your answer.
Solution:
The coefficient of correlation is a ratio of covariance and standard deviations.
Since covariance and standard deviations are independent of units of measurement.
∴ coefficient of correlation is also independent of units of measurement.
∴ values of coefficient of correlation obtained by first and second investigators are the same.

Balbharati Maharashtra State Board 11th Commerce Maths Solution Book Pdf Chapter 3 Skewness Miscellaneous Exercise 3 Questions and Answers.

Maharashtra State Board 11th Commerce Maths Solutions Chapter 3 Skewness Miscellaneous Exercise 3

Question 1.
For u distribution, mean = 100, mode = 80 and S.D. = 20. Find Pearsonian coefficient of skewness Sk_p.
Solution:
Given, Mean = 100, Mode = 80, S.D. = 20

Question 2.
For a distribution, mean = 60, median = 75 and variance = 900. Find Pearsonian coefficient of skewness Sk_p.
Solution:
Given. Mean = 60, Median = 75, Variance = 900
∴ S.D. = √Variance = √900 = 30

Question 3.
For a distribution, Q₁ = 25, Q₂ = 35 and Q₃ = 50. Find Bowley’s coefficient of skewness Sk_b.
Solution:
Given Q₁ = 25, Q₂ = 35, Q₃ = 50

Question 4.
For a distribution Q₃ – Q₂ = 40, Q₂ – Q₁ = 60. Find Bowlev’s coefficient of skewness Sk_b.
Solution:
Given, Q₃ – Q₂ = 40, Q₂ – Q₁ = 60

Question 5.
For a distribution, Bowley’s coefficient of skewness is 0.6. The sum of upper and lower quartiles is 100 and median is 38. Find the upper and lower quartiles.
Solution:
Given, Sk_b = 0.6, Q₃ + Q₁ = 100,
Median = Q₂ = 38
Skb = \(\frac{Q_{3}+Q_{1}-2 Q_{2}}{Q_{3}-Q_{1}}\)
∴ 0.6 = \(\frac{100-2(38)}{Q_{3}-Q_{1}}\)
∴ 0.6(Q₃ – Q₁) = 100 – 76 = 24
∴ Q₃ – Q₁ = 40 ….(i)
Q₃ + Q₁ = 100 …..(ii) (given)
Adding (i) and (ii), we get
2Q₃ = 140
∴ Q₃ = 70
Substituting the value of Q₃ in (ii), we get
70 + Q₁ = 100
∴ Q₁ = 100 – 70 = 30
∴ upper quartile = 70 and lower quartile = 30

Question 6.
For a frequency distribution, the mean is 200, the coefficient of variation is 8% and Karl Pearsonian’s coefficient of skewness is 0.3. Find the mode and median of the distribution.
Solution:
Mean = \(\bar{x}\) = 200
Coefficient of variation, C.V. = 8%, Skp = 0.3
C.V. = \(\frac{\sigma}{\bar{x}} \times 100\), where σ = standard deviation
∴ 8 = \(\frac{\sigma}{200} \times 100\)
∴ σ = \(\frac{8 \times 200}{100}\) = 16
Now, Sk_p = \(\frac{\text { Mean – Mode }}{\text { S.D. }}\)
∴ 0.3 = \(\frac{200-\text { Mode }}{16}\)
∴ 0.3 × 16 = 200 – Mode
∴ Mode = 200 – 4.8 = 195.2
Since, Mean – Mode = 3(Mean – Median)
∴ 200 – 195.2 = 3(200 – Median)
∴ 4.8 = 600 – 3Median
∴ 3Median = 600 – 4.8 = 595.2
∴ Median = 198.4

Question 7.
Calculate Karl Pearsonian’s coefficient of skewness Skp from the follow ing data:

Solution:
The given table is the cumulative frequency table of more than type.
From this table, we have to prepare the frequency distribution table and then calculate the value of Sk_p.
Construct the following table:

From the table, N = 120, Σf_ix_i = 5490 and \(\sum \mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{i}} x_{\mathrm{i}}^{2}\) = 284600
Mean = \(\bar{x}=\frac{\sum f_{i} x_{i}}{N}=\frac{5490}{120}\) = 45.75
Maximum frequency 42 is of the class 50 – 60
∴ Mode lies in the class 50 – 60
∴ L = 50, f₁ = 42, f₀ = 25, f₂ = 13, h = 10

Alternate Method:
Let u = \(\frac{x-45}{10}\)

\(\overline{\mathrm{u}}=\frac{\sum \mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{i}} \mathrm{u}_{\mathrm{i}}}{\mathrm{N}}=\frac{9}{120}\) = 0.075
∴ \(\bar{x}\) = 45 + 10(\(\bar{u}\))
= 45 + 10(0.075)
= 45 + 0.75
= 45.75
Var(u) = \(\sigma_{u}^{2}=\frac{\sum f_{i} u_{i}{ }^{2}}{N}-(\bar{u})^{2}\)
= \(\frac{335}{120}\) – (0.075)²
= 2.7917 – 0.0056
= 2.7861
Var(X) = h² × Var(u)
= 100 × 2.7861
= 278.61
S.D. = √278.61 = 16.6916
Maximum frequency 42 is of the class 50 – 60.
∴ Mode lies in the class 50 – 60.
∴ L = 50, f₁ = 42, f₀ = 25, f₂ = 13, h = 10

Question 8.
Calculate Bowley’s coefficient of skewness Skb from the following data.

Solution:
To calculate Bowley’s coefficient of skewness Skb, we construct the following table:

Here, N = 120
Q₁ class = class containing the \(\left(\frac{N}{4}\right)^{t h}\) observation
∴ \(\frac{N}{4}=\frac{120}{4}\) = 30
Cumulative frequency which is just greater than (or equal to) 30 is 35.
∴ Q₁ lies in the class 30-40.
∴ L = 30, h = 10, f = 13, c.f. = 22

Q₂ class = class containing the \(\left(\frac{N}{2}\right)^{t h}\) observation
∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{N}}{2}=\frac{120}{2}\) = 60
Cumulative frequency which is just greater than (or equal to) 60 is 60.
∴ Q₂ lies in the class 40-50.
∴ L = 40, h = 10, f = 25, c.f. = 35

Q₃ class = class containing the \(\left(\frac{3 \mathrm{~N}}{4}\right)^{\text {th }}\) observation
∴ \(\frac{3 \mathrm{~N}}{4}=\frac{3 \times 120}{4}\) = 90
Cumulative frequency which is just greater than (or equal to) 90 is 102.
∴ Q₃ lies in the class 50 – 60
∴ L = 50, h = 10, f = 42, c.f. = 60

Question 9.
Find Sk_p for the following set of observations:
18, 27, 10, 25, 31, 13, 28
Solution:
The given data can be arranged in ascending order as follows:
10, 13, 18, 25, 27, 28, 31
Here, n = 7
∴ Median = value of \(\left(\frac{n+1}{2}\right)^{\text {th }}\) observation
= value of \(\left(\frac{7+1}{2}\right)^{\text {th }}\) observation
= value of 4th observation
= 25
For finding standard deviation, we construct the following table:

Question 10.
Find Skb for the following set of observations:
18, 27, 10, 25, 31, 13, 28
Solution:
The given data can be arranged in ascending order as follows:
10, 13, 18, 25, 27, 28, 31
Here, n = 7
∴ Q₁ = value of \(\left(\frac{n+1}{4}\right)^{\text {th }}\) observation
= value of \(\left(\frac{7+1}{4}\right)^{\text {th }}\) observation
= value of 2nd observation
∴ Q₁ = 13
Q₂ = value of 2\(\left(\frac{n+1}{4}\right)^{\text {th }}\) observation
= value of 2\(\left(\frac{7+1}{4}\right)^{\text {th }}\) observation
= value of (2 × 2)th observation
= value of 4th observation
∴ Q₂ = 25
Q₃ = value of 3\(\left(\frac{n+1}{4}\right)^{\text {th }}\) observation
= value of 3\(\left(\frac{7+1}{4}\right)^{\text {th }}\) observation
= value of (3 × 2)th observation
= value of 6th observation
∴ Q₃ = 28
Coefficient of skewness,

∴ Sk_b = -0.6

Maharashtra State Board 11th Commerce Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Locus and Straight Line Ex 5.3

Question 1.
Write the equation of the line:
(a) parallel to the X-axis and at a distance of 5 units from it and above it.
(b) parallel to the Y-axis and at a distance of 5 units from it and to the left of it.
(c) parallel to the X-axis and at a distance of 4 units from the point (-2, 3).
Solution:
(a) Equation of a line parallel to the X-axis is y = k.
Since the line is at a distance of 5 units above the X-axis.
∴ k = 5
∴ the equation of the required line is y = 5.

(b) Equation of a line parallel to the Y-axis is x = h.
Since the line is at a distance of 5 units to the left of the Y-axis.
∴ h = -5
∴ the equation of the required line is x = -5.

(c) Equation of a line parallel to the X-axis is of the form y = k (k > 0 or k < 0).
Since, the line is at a distance of 4 units from the point (-2, 3).
∴ k = 3 + 4 = 7 or k = 3 – 4 = -1
∴ the equation of the required line is y = 7 or y = -1.

Question 2.
Obtain the equation of the line:
(a) parallel to the X-axis and making an intercept of 3 units on the Y-axis.
(b) parallel to the Y-axis and making an intercept of 4 units on the X-axis.
Solution:
(a) Equation of a line parallel to X-axis with y-intercept ‘k’ is y = k.
Here, y-intercept = 3
∴ the equation of the required line is y = 3.

(b) Equation of a line parallel to Y-axis with x-intercept ‘h’ is x = h.
Here, x-intercept = 4
∴ the equation of the required line is x = 4.

Question 3.
Obtain the equation of the line containing the point:
(a) A(2, -3) and parallel to the Y-axis.
(b) B(4, -3) and parallel to the X-axis.
Solution:
(a) Equation of a line parallel to the Y-axis is of the form x = h.
Since, the line passes through A(2, -3).
∴ h = 2
∴ the equation of the required line is x = 2.

(b) Equation of a line parallel to the X-axis is of the form y = k.
Since, the line passes through B(4, -3)
∴ k = -3
∴ the equation of the required line is y = -3.

Question 4.
Find the equation of the line passing through the points A(2, 0) and B(3, 4).
Solution:
The required line passes through the points A(2, 0) = (x₁, y₁) and B(3, 4) = (x₂, y₂) say.
Equation of the line in two-point form is
\(\frac{y-y_{1}}{y_{2}-y_{1}}=\frac{x-x_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\)
∴ the equation of the required line is
∴ \(\frac{y-0}{4-0}=\frac{x-2}{3-2}\)
∴ \(\frac{y}{4}=\frac{x-2}{1}\)
∴ y = 4(x – 2)
∴ y = 4x – 8
∴ 4x – y – 8 = 0

Check:
If the points A(2, 0) and B(3, 4) satisfy 4x – y – 8 = 0, then our answer is correct.
For point A(2, 0),
L.H.S. = 4x – y – 8
= 4(2) – 0 – 8
= 8 – 8
= 0
= R.H.S.
For point B(3, 4),
L.H.S. = 4x – y – 8
= 4(3) – 4 – 8
= 12 – 12
= 0
= R.H.S.
Thus, our answer is correct.

Question 5.
Line y = mx + c passes through the points A(2, 1) and B(3, 2). Determine m and c.
Solution:
Given, A(2, 1) and B(3, 2).
Equation of a line in two-point form is
\(\frac{y-y_{1}}{y_{2}-y_{1}}=\frac{x-x_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\)
∴ the equation of the passing through A and B line is
∴ \(\frac{y-1}{2-1}=\frac{x-2}{3-2}\)
∴ \(\frac{y-1}{1}=\frac{x-2}{1}\)
∴ y – 1 = x – 2
∴ y = x – 1
Comparing this equation with y = mx + c, we get
m = 1 and c = -1

Alternate method:
Points A(2, 1) and B(3, 2) lie on the line y = mx + c.
∴ They must satisfy the equation.
∴ 2m + c = 1 ……..(i)
and 3m + c = 2 ……(ii)
equation (ii) – equation (i) gives m = 1
Substituting m = 1 in (i), we get
2(1) – c = 1
∴ c = 1 – 2 = -1

Question 6.
The vertices of a triangle are A(3, 4), B(2, 0), and C(-1, 6). Find the equations of
(a) side BC
(b) the median AD
(c) the midpoints of sides AB and BC.
Solution:
Vertices of ∆ABC are A(3, 4), B(2, 0) and C(-1, 6).
(a) Equation of a line in two-point form is
\(\frac{y-y_{1}}{y_{2}-y_{1}}=\frac{x-x_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\)
∴ the equation of the side BC is
\(\frac{y-0}{6-0}=\frac{x-2}{-1-2}\) ……[B = (x₁, y₁) = (2, 0), C = (x₂, y₂) = (-1, 6)]
∴ \(\frac{y}{6}=\frac{x-2}{-3}\)
∴ y = -2(x – 2)
∴ 2x + y – 4 = 0

(b) Let D be the midpoint of side BC.
Then, AD is the median through A.
∴ D = \(\left(\frac{2-1}{2}, \frac{0+6}{2}\right)=\left(\frac{1}{2}, 3\right)\)
The median AD passes through the points A(3, 4) and D(\(\frac{1}{2}\), 3)

∴ the equation of the median AD is
\(\frac{y-4}{3-4}=\frac{x-3}{\frac{1}{2}-3}\)
∴ \(\frac{y-4}{-1}=\frac{x-3}{-\frac{5}{2}}\)
∴ \(\frac{1}{2}\) (y – 4) = x – 3
∴ 5y – 20 = 2x – 6
∴ 2x – 5y + 14 = 0

(c) Let D and E be the midpoints of side AB and side BC respectively.
∴ D = \(\left(\frac{3+2}{2}, \frac{4+0}{2}\right)=\left(\frac{5}{2}, 2\right)\) and
E = \(\left(\frac{2-1}{2}, \frac{0+6}{2}\right)=\left(\frac{1}{2}, 3\right)\)

the equation of the line DE is
\(\frac{y-2}{3-2}=\frac{x-\frac{5}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}-\frac{5}{2}}\)
∴ \(\frac{y-2}{1}=\frac{2 x-5}{-4}\)
∴ -4(y – 2) = 2x – 5
∴ -4y + 8 = 2x – 5
∴ 2x + 4y – 13 = 0

Question 7.
Find the x and y-intercepts of the following lines:
(a) \(\frac{x}{3}+\frac{y}{2}=1\)
(b) \(\frac{3 x}{2}+\frac{2 y}{3}=1\)
(c) 2x – 3y + 12 = 0
Solution:
(a) Given equation of the line is \(\frac{x}{3}+\frac{y}{2}=1\)
This is of the form \(\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1\),
where x-intercept = a, y-intercept = b
∴ x-intercept = 3, y-intercept = 2

(b) Given equation of the line is \(\frac{3 x}{2}+\frac{2 y}{3}=1\)
∴ \(\frac{x}{\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)}+\frac{y}{\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)}=1\)
This is of the form \(\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1\),
where x-intercept = a, y-intercept = b
∴ x-intercept = \(\frac{2}{3}\) and y-intercept = \(\frac{3}{2}\)

(c) Given equation of the line is 2x – 3y + 12 = 0
∴ 2x – 3y = -12
∴ \(\frac{2 x}{(-12)}-\frac{3 y}{(-12)}=1\)
∴ \(\frac{x}{-6}+\frac{y}{4}=1\)
This is of the form \(\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1\),
where x-intercept = a, y-intercept = b
∴ x-intercept = -6 and y-intercept = 4

Question 8.
Find the equations of a line containing the point A(3, 4) and make equal intercepts on the co-ordinate axes.
Solution:
Let the equation of the line be
\(\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1\) …..(i)
Since, the required line make equal intercepts on the co-ordinate axes.
∴ a = b
∴ (i) reduces to x + y = a …..(ii)
Since the line passes through A(3, 4).
∴ 3 + 4 = a
i.e. a = 7
Substituting a = 7 in (ii) to get
x + y = 7

Question 9.
Find the equations of the altitudes of the triangle whose vertices are A(2, 5), B(6, -1) and C(-4, -3).
Solution:

A(2, 5), B(6, -1), C(-4, -3) are the vertices of ∆ABC.
Let AD, BE and CF be the altitudes through the vertices A, B and C respectively of ∆ABC.
Slope of BC = \(\frac{-3-(-1)}{-4-6}=\frac{-2}{-10}=\frac{1}{5}\)
∴ slope of AD = -5 ……..[∵ AD ⊥ BC]
Since, altitude AD passes through (2, 5) and has slope -5.
∴ the equation of the altitude AD is
y – 5 = -5(x – 2)
∴ y – 5 = – 5x + 10
∴ 5x + y – 15 = 0
Now, slope of AC = \(\frac{-3-5}{-4-2}=\frac{-8}{-6}=\frac{4}{3}\)
∴ slope of BE = \(\frac{-3}{4}\) …..[∵ BE ⊥ AC]
Since, altitude BE passes through (6, -1) and has slope \(\frac{-3}{4}\).
∴ the equation of the altitude BE is
y – (-1) = \(\frac{-3}{4}\)(x – 6)
∴ 4(y + 1) = -3(x – 6)
∴ 3x + 4y – 14 = 0
Also, slope of AB = \(\frac{-1-5}{6-2}=\frac{-6}{4}=\frac{-3}{2}\)
∴ slope of CF = \(\frac{2}{3}\) ………[∵ CF ⊥ AB]
Since, altitude CF passes through (-4, -3) and has slope \(\frac{2}{3}\).
∴ the equation of the altitude CF is
y – (-3) = \(\frac{2}{3}\) [x – (-4)]
∴ 3(y + 3) = 2(x + 4)
∴ 2x – 3y – 1 = 0
