(ii) Since 4-digit numbers greater than 5000 are to be formed, The  place digit can be filled up by either 7 or 5 in  ways Since repetition is not allowed,  The remaining 3 places can be filled by remaining 4 digits in   ways.   Total number of 4-digit numbers greater than 5000 = We know, a number is divisible by 5 if unit’s place digit is either 0 or 5. Case 1. When digit at  place is 5, the...

Total number of students = 100 Let A and B be the two sections consisting of 40 and 60 students respectively. Number of ways of selecting 2 students out of 100 students.=  (a)  If both are in section A: Number of ways of selecting 40 students out of 100 =   (The remaining 60 will automatically be in section B!) Remaining 38 students are to be chosen out of (100-2 =) 98 students  Required...
