Kanika goes to a gift shop to get 5 unique gifts wrapped with gift-wrappers. The shopkeeper
shows her 10 gift-wrappers of different designs. Assume that one gift wrapper can be used
to wrap only one gift. On the basis of given information, answer questions (1) and (2).

1
(1). From the given list of options, select the step(s) applicable for selection of gift-wrapper
for the gifts.
Answer: 1, 4, 5
Solution:
The gift-wrappers will be chosen simultaneously and without replacement, as it is men-
tioned that one gift-wrapper can be used to wrap only one gift. Since, all gifts and
gift-wrappers are different, the order of selection do matter.
Hence, options (1), (4) and (5) are correct.

(2). In how many ways can she get all the gifts wrapped with gift-wrappers?(Enter the op-
tion number(s) from the given list of options)
Answer: 7
Solution:
For the first gift to get gift-wrapped, there are 10 ways. For the second gift to get
gift-wrapped, there are 9 ways because 1 wrapper is already used to wrap the first gift.
Similarly, for the third, fourth and fifth gift to get gift wrapped there are 7, 6 and 5 ways
respectively. Since, events are occurring simultaneously, number of ways to get all gifts
10!
wrapped with gift-wrapper = 10×9×8×7×6 = , which is same as option number (7).

In a data-analysis competition, there are 10 analytic teams. The first 5 teams to draw
meaningful insights from data will be awarded. On the basis of given information, answer
questions (3) and (4).
(3). From the given list of options, select the step(s) applicable for the distribution of
awards to the 5 teams.
Answer: 1,4,6
Solution:
The distribution of awards will occur simultaneously and without replacement, as only
first 5 teams are awarded. Since, we are awarding only first 5 teams and there is not
any difference in the award given to 1st team and 5th team. Hence, the order of distri-
bution of awards does not matter.
Thus, options (1), (4) and (6) are correct.

(4). What are the possible number of ways the teams will be awarded?(Enter the option
number(s) from the given list of options)
Answer: 9
Solution:
The first award can be distributed in 10 ways. For the second award, there are 9 ways
because 1 team is already awarded. Similarly, for the third, fourth and fifth award
there are 7, 6 and 5 ways respectively. Since, events are occurring simultaneously and
order does not matter, number of ways the team will be awarded

option number (9).
Ishaan needs to enter his employee ID number to get access to the company desktop. Of the
10-digit employee ID number, he remembers only the last 5 digits. If the repetition of digits
is allowed, then based on the given information, answer the questions (5) and (6).
(5). From the given list of options, select the step(s) applicable for the selection of the digits
to complete the employee ID number.
Answer: 1,3,5
Solution:
The selection of digits will be simultaneous and with replacement, as repetition of dig-
its is allowed. Also, order of digits do matter as employee ID number 123 is not same
as 321.
Hence, options (1), (3) and (5) are correct.

(6). In how many possible ways can he complete his employee ID number?(Enter the option
number(s) from the given list of options)
Answer: 12
Solution:
For each missing digit to be filled, there are 10 ways, as 0 can also be at the first
place because, employee ID number is a categorical variable. Since, events are oc-
curring simultaneously. Hence, number of ways to complete employee ID number is
10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10, which is same as option number (12).

Priyank needs a special code for his bank locker, which can be created with numbers 0 to
9 and the alphabets A, B, C, D, E, I, W, X, Y, Z. He can either select a code of the type
pattern-A or pattern-B. The pattern-A code begins with 3 numbers followed by 2 alphabets
with repetition allowed. The pattern-B code begins with 2 alphabets followed by 3 numbers
without repetition. Based on the given information, answer questions (7) to (11).
(7). From the given list of options, select the step(s) applicable for the selection of alphanu-
meric digits for pattern-A code.
Answer: 1,3,5
Solution:
The selection of alphanumeric digits for pattern-A code will be simultaneous and with
replacement, as repetition of digits is allowed. Also, order of digits do matter as code
123AX is not same as 321XA.
Hence, options (1), (3) and (5) are correct.

(8). In how many ways can he select the code of type pattern-A?(Enter the option num-
ber(s) from the given list of options)

3
 Answer: 12
Solution:
Number of ways to select 2 alphabets with repetition = 10 × 10. Number of ways to
select 3 numbers with repetition = 10 × 10 × 10. Hence, number of ways he can select
pattern-A code = 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10, which is same as option number (12).

(9). From the given list of options, select the step(s) applicable for the selection of alphanu-
meric digits for pattern-B code.
Answer: 1,4,5
Solution:
The selection of alphanumeric digits for pattern-B code will be simultaneous and with-
out replacement, as repetition of digits is not allowed. Also, order of digits do matter
as code BW 123 is not same as W B321.
Hence, options (1), (4) and (5) are correct.

(10). In how many ways can he select the code of type pattern-B, if the code shouldn’t
contain the alphabet A?(Enter the option number(s) from the given list of options)
Answer: 10
Solution:
Number of ways to select 2 alphabets (except ”A”) without repetition = 9×8. Number
of ways to select 3 numbers without repetition = 10 × 9 × 8. Hence, number of ways
he can select pattern-B code without using the alphabet ”A” = 9 × 8 × 10 × 9 × 8
(9 × 8 × 7!) × (10 × 9 × 8 × 7!) 10! 9!
= = × , which is same as option number (10).
7! × 7! 7! 7!

(11). From the given list of options, select the step(s) applicable for the selection of a code
type (either pattern-A or pattern-B).
Answer: 2
Solution:
The selection can be either of pattern-A code or pattern-B code. Hence, the event will
not occur simultaneously.
Hence, option (2) is correct.
