If there were no three points collinear. We should have 10C2 lines but since 7 points are collinear we must subtract 7C2 lines and add the one corresponding to the line of collinearity of the seven points.
Correct Option: C
If there were no three points collinear. We should have 10C2 lines but since 7 points are collinear we must subtract 7C2 lines and add the one corresponding to the line of collinearity of the seven points.
Thus, the required number of straight lines .
= 10C2 - 7C2 + 1 = 25

Required no. of ways = [4C1 x 6C3] + [4C2 x 6C2] + [4C3 x 6C1] + [4C4]
= 80 + 90 + 24 + 1 = 195.Correct Option: C
Required no. of ways = [4C1 x 6C3] + [4C2 x 6C2] + [4C3 x 6C1] + [4C4]
= 80 + 90 + 24 + 1 = 195.

We may choose 1 officer and 5 jawans or 2 officers and 4 jawans ......... or 4 officers and 2 jawans.
Correct Option: A
We may choose 1 officer and 5 jawans or 2 officers and 4 jawans ......... or 4 officers and 2 jawans.
So Required answer = [4C1 x 8C5] + [4C2 x 8C4] + [4C3 x 8C3] + [4C4 x 8C2]
= 224 + 420 + 224 + 28 = 896.

Total number of letters = 5
Number of vowels = 2.
If we consider both vowel as a one letter then,
Required number = 4! 2! = 48.Correct Option: A

View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum
The number of ways of selecting 3 points out of 12 points is 12C3. The number of ways of selecting 3 points out of 7 points, on the same straight line is 7C3
Correct Option: C
The number of ways of selecting 3 points out of 12 points is 12C3. The number of ways of selecting 3 points out of 7 points, on the same straight line is 7C3, Hence, the number of triangle formed will be 12C3 - 7C3 = 210 - 35 = 185.
