Question 1 |
The minimum number of edges of a graph containing n vertices and c connected components is
n-c | |
c | |
c(n-1) | |
n/c |
Question 1 Explanation:
We have to find a minimum no. of edges. So for c connected components let's assume c-1 independent vertices which are also c-1 components and remaining 1 component will contain n-(c-1) vertices or n-c+1 vertices. So for minimum no. of edges will be no. of vertices in the single component (which contains n-c+1 vertices) -1, which is
(n-c+1)-1 = n-c

Question 3 |
How many different 6-member committees can be formed from 6 men and 4 women with a restriction that each committee should include an equal number of men and women
120 | |
80 | |
420 | |
6045 |
Question 3 Explanation:
Given data,
Committee members=6,
Mens=6
Women=4
Equal numbers of men and women are= ?
3 men out of 6, 3 women out of 4
⇒ 6C3 * 4C3 ways
⇒ 20 * 4
⇒ 80
Note: There are 3 possibilities to consider an equal number of men and women.
Choose 4 men and 4 women then we get 6C4 * 4C4 ways = 15
Choose 2 men and 2 women then we get 6C2 * 4C2 ways = 90
Choose 3 men and 3 women then we get 6C3 * 4C3 ways = 80
Committee members=6,
Mens=6
Women=4
Equal numbers of men and women are= ?
3 men out of 6, 3 women out of 4
⇒ 6C3 * 4C3 ways
⇒ 20 * 4
⇒ 80
Note: There are 3 possibilities to consider an equal number of men and women.
Choose 4 men and 4 women then we get 6C4 * 4C4 ways = 15
Choose 2 men and 2 women then we get 6C2 * 4C2 ways = 90
Choose 3 men and 3 women then we get 6C3 * 4C3 ways = 80

Question 8 |
In an IT company, given that the probability of finding an employee with programming skills is 0.7, documentation skills is 0.6, and if the probability of finding an employee with either of the skills is 0.9, then what is the probability of finding an employee with both the skills?
0.42 | |
0.5 | |
0.4 | |
0.8 |
Question 8 Explanation:
Let A = probability of finding an employee with programming skills
Let B = probability of finding an employee with documentation skill
So A=0.7
B=0.6
AUB=0.9
Hence ,A∩B = A + B - (AUB)
= 0.7+0.6-0.9
= 0.4
Let B = probability of finding an employee with documentation skill
So A=0.7
B=0.6
AUB=0.9
Hence ,A∩B = A + B - (AUB)
= 0.7+0.6-0.9
= 0.4
Question 9 |
Let A, B and C are finite sets. Which of the following options is TRUE, if X=((A∩B)-(B∩C)) and Y=(A-(A∩C))-(A-B)?
X⊂Y | |
X⊃Y | |
X=Y | |
X-Y≠φ and Y-X≠φ |
Question 9 Explanation:
Now,
x=((AB)-(BC))
=(b,c)-(e,f))
=b
y=(A-(AC))-(A-B)
=((a,b,d,e)-(d,e))-(a,d)
=(a,b)-(a,d)
=b
Hence, x=y
Question 10 |
Which of the following options is TRUE with regard to a relation R defined on ordered pairs of integers as given below: (x,y) R (low,up) if x>low and y<up?
R is totally ordered | |
R is partially ordered but not totally ordered
| |
R is an equivalence relation | |
R is neither partially ordered nor an equivalence relation |
Question 10 Explanation:
If a relation is equivalence then it must be
i) Symmetric
ii) Reflexive
iii) Transitive
If a relation is a partial order relation then it must be
i) Reflexive
ii) Anti-symmetric
iii) Transitive
If a relation is total order relation then it must be
i) Reflexive
ii) Symmetric
iii) Transitive
iv) Comparability
Given ordered pairs are (x,y)R(low,up) if (x,up).
Here < , > are using while using these symbols between (x,y) and (y,up) then they are not satisfy the reflexive relation. If they use (x< =low) and (y >=low) then reflexive relation can satisfies.
So, given relation cannot be an Equivalence. Total order relation or partial order relation.

16/81 | |
17/81 | |
1/36 | |
64/81 |
Question 12 Explanation:
We will use binomial distribution here.
Total possible outcomes will be 6*6=36
Lets first calculate probability of getting sum as 9. We will get sum as 9 when first dice and second dice will have number (3,6) ,(4,5) ,(5,4) ,(6,3). So total 4 possibility are there out of 36.
So Let probability of getting sum as 9 = P(A) = 4/36 = 1/9
Now
Probability of scoring 9 at least in one of the two times
= Probability of scoring 9 exactly one time + Probability of scoring 9 exactly two times
Total possible outcomes will be 6*6=36
Lets first calculate probability of getting sum as 9. We will get sum as 9 when first dice and second dice will have number (3,6) ,(4,5) ,(5,4) ,(6,3). So total 4 possibility are there out of 36.
So Let probability of getting sum as 9 = P(A) = 4/36 = 1/9

From given description we can conclude that all the elements above the diagonal are 0. So we can say that,
1st row will have 1 non-zero element,
2nd row will have 2 non zero elements,
3rd row will have 3 non-zero elements ,

nth row will contain n non-zero elements.
Therefore total no. of non-zero elements are,
1+2+3+...........+n = n(n+1)/2
1st row will have 1 non-zero element,
2nd row will have 2 non zero elements,
3rd row will have 3 non-zero elements ,
