2. Solution:- If we have to count those permutations in which all vowels are never together, we first have to find all possible arrangements of 8 letters taken all at a time, which can be done in 8! ways. Then, we have to subtract from this number, the number of permutations in which the vowels are always together. Therefore, the required number 8 ! – 6 ! × 3 ! = 6 ! (7×8 – 6) = 2 × 6 ! (28 – 3) = 50 × 6 ! = 50 × 720 = 36000.
3. Solution:- Here, initial velocity = u = 90 km/h = 25 m/s. Let the retardation be a m/s2. Since the truck stops after travelling a distance of 100 metres, we have v2 = u2 – 2as or 02 = 252 – 2a × 100, or, a = 3.125m/ s2. Let the truck took t secs to stop at stop line. Then v = u – at, or, 0 = 25 – 3.125t; giving t = 8 s.
4. Solution: SP of 30m – CP of 30m = SP of 10m SP of 20m = CP of 30m \ profit % = {(30 – 20) / 20} x 100 = 50%
5. Solution:- There are 8 different letters in the word DAUGHTER, in which there are 3 vowels, namely, A, U and E. Since the vowels have to occur together, we can for the time being, assume them as a single object (AUE). This single object together with 5 remaining letters (objects) will be counted as 6 objects. Then we count permutations of these 6 objects taken all at a time. This number would be 6P6 = 6!. Corresponding to each of these permutations, we shall have 3! permutations of the three vowels A, U, E taken all at a time . Hence, by the multiplication principle the required number of permutations = 6 ! × 3 ! = 4320.
