Q1.
The number of integers between 1 and 500 (both inclusive) that are divisible by 3 or 5 or 7 is ______________.Q2.
There are 6 jobs with distinct difficulty levels, and 3 computers with distinct processing speeds. Each job is assigned to a computer such that: The fastest computer gets the toughest job and the slowest computer gets the easiest job. Every computer gets at least one job. The number of ways in which this can be done is ___________.Q3.
A pennant is a sequence of numbers, each number being 1 or 2. An n-pennant is a sequence of numbers with sum equal to n. For example, (1,1,2) is a 4-pennant. The set of all possible 1- pennants is {(1)}, the set of all possible 2-pennants is {(2), (1,1)}and the set of all 3-pennants is {(2,1), (1,1,1), (1,2)}. Note that the pennant (1,2) is not the same as the pennant (2,1). The number of 10- pennants is _____.Q4.
There are 5 bags labelled 1 to 5. All the coins in a given bag have the same weight. Some bags have coins of weight 10 gm, others have coins of weight 11 gm. I pick 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 coins respectively from bags 1 to 5. Their total weight comes out to 323 gm. Then the product of the labels of the bags having 11 gm coins is ___.Q5.
In the 4B/5B encoding scheme, every 4 bits of data are encoded in a 5-bit codeword. It is required that the codewords have at most 1 leading and at most 1 trailing zero. How many are such codewords possible?Q6.
A line L in a circuit is said to have a stuck-at-0 fault if the line permanently has a logic value 0. Similarly a line L in a circuit is said to have a stuck-at-1 fault if the line permanently has a logic value 1. A circuit is said to have a multiple stuck-at fault if one or more lines have stuck at faults. The total number of distinct multiple stuck-at faults possible in a circuit with N lines isQ9.
The number of permutations of the characters in LILAC so that no character appears in its original position, if the two L's are indistinguishable, is ______.Q10.
Let U = {1, 2,...,n}, where n is a large positive integer greater than 1000. Let k be a positive integer less than n. Let A, B be subsets of U with |A| = |B| = k and A\cap B=\phi . We say that a permutation of U separates A from B if one of the following is true. - All members of A appear in the permutation before any of the members of B. - All members of B appear in the permutation before any of the members of A. How many permutations of U separate A from B?
