1. How many numbers are there between 99 and 1000, having at least one of their digits 7?
Solution:
Total number of 3 digit numbers having at least one of their digits as 7 = (Total numbers of three-
digit numbers) – (Total number of 3 digit numbers in which 7 does not appear at all)
= (9 × 10 × 10) – (8 × 9 × 9)
= 900 – 648
= 252
2. A committee of 3 persons is to be constituted from a group of 2 men and 3 women. In how
many ways can this be done? How many of these committees would consist of 1 man and 2
women?
Solution:
Given,
Men = 2
Women = 3
A committee of 3 persons to be constituted.
Here, the order does not matter.
Therefore, we need to count combinations.
There will be as many committees as combinations of 5 different persons taken 3 at a time.
Hence, the required number of ways = 5C3
= 5!/(3! 2!)
= (5 × 4 × 3!)/(3! × 2)= 10
3. A group consists of 4 girls and 7 boys. In how many ways can a team of 5 members be
selected if the team has
Total number of ways the team can have no girls = 4C0 × 7C5
= 1 × 21
= 21
4. A password of 6 digits is made of digits 926002.
How many possible passwords are there?
n1 = 2, n2 = 2, n3 = 1, n4 = 1, n = 6
t = 180.5sec. = 900 sec. = 15 min

one head, two heads, and three heads. What is the probability distribution for the number of
heads?
