प्रश्नावली 7.1

Ex 7.1 Class 11 Maths प्रश्न 1.
अंक 1, 2, 3, 4 और 5 से कितनी 3 अंकीय संख्याएँ बनाई जा सकती हैं, यदि
(i) अंकों की पुनरावृत्ति की अनुमति हो।
(ii) अंकों की पुनरावृत्ति की अनुमति नहीं हो।

Solution:
3 अंकीय संख्या में 3 स्थान होते हैं : इकाई, दहाई और सैकड़ा।
(i) इकाई का स्थान 5 तरीकों से भरा जा सकता है क्योंकि 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 में से कोई भी एक अंक लिया जा सकता है।
दहाई का स्थान भी 5 तरीकों से भरा जा सकता है क्योंकि पुनरावृत्ति की अनुमति है।
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 में से कोई भी अंक लिया जा सकता है।
इसी प्रकार सैकड़े का स्थान भी 5 तरीकों से भरा जा सकता है।
3 अंकीय संख्याओं की संख्या = 5 x 5 x 5 = 125.

(ii) इकाई का स्थान 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 में से कोई-से एक अंक को लेकर 5 तरीकों से भरा जा सकता है।
दहाई का स्थान 4 तरीकों से भरा जा सकता है क्योंकि एक अंक पहले ही चयनित कर लिया गया। पुनरावृत्ति की अनुमति नहीं है।
सैकड़े का स्थान 3 तरीकों से भरा जा सकता है क्योंकि 2 अंक पहले ही चयनित कर लिए गए हैं।
3 अंकीय संख्याओं की संख्या = 5 x 4 x 3 = 60.

Ex 7.1 Class 11 Maths प्रश्न 2.
अंकः1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 से कितनी 3 अंकीय सम संख्याएँ बनाई जा सकती हैं, यदि अंकों की पुनरावृत्ति की जा सकेती है?
हल:
इकाई का स्थान 2, 4, 6 में से एक को लेकर 3 तरीकों से भरा जा सकता है।
क्योंकि पुनरावृत्ति की जा सकती है, दहाई का स्थान 6 तरीकों से भरा जा सकता है।
इसी प्रकार सैकड़े का स्थान भी 6 तरीकों से ही भरा जा सकता है।
3 अंकीय संख्याओं की संख्या = 6 x 6 x 3 = 108.

Ex 7.1 Class 11 Maths प्रश्न 3.
अंग्रेजी वर्णमाला के प्रथम 10 अक्षरों से कितने 4 अक्षरों के कोड बनाए जा सकते हैं, यदि किसी भी अक्षर की पुनरावृत्ति नहीं की जा सकती?
हल:
4 अक्षरों वाले कोड में 4 स्थान हैं। प्रत्येक अक्षर के लिए एक स्थान चाहिए।
पहले स्थान को 10 तरीकों से, दूसरे स्थान को 9 तरीकों से, तीसरे स्थान को 8 तरीकों से और चौथे स्थान को 7 तरीकों से भर सकते हैं क्योंकि पुनरावृत्ति की अनुमति नहीं है।
एक अक्षर दुबारा नहीं लिखा जा सकता।
चार अक्षर वाले कोडों की संख्या = 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 = 5040.

Ex 7.1 Class 11 Maths प्रश्न 4.
0 से 9 तक के अंकों का प्रयोग करके कितने 5 अंकीय टेलीफोन नम्बर बनाए जा सकते हैं, यदि प्रत्येक नम्बर 67 से आरम्भ होता है और कोई अंक एक बार से अधिक नहीं आता है?
हल:
पांच अंकीय नम्बर में 5 स्थान हैं जिसमें पहले और दूसरे को I और II से निरूपित किया गया है। I और II स्थान पर 6 और 7 को रखा गया है।
शेष 8 अंकों में से एक-एक अंक लेकर I, IV और V स्थान को भरना है। स्थान III को 8 तरीकों से, स्थान IV को 7 तरीकों से तथा स्थान V को 6 तरीकों से भर सकते है।
5 अंकीय टेलीफोन नम्बरों की संख्या = 8 x 7 x 6 = 336.

Ex 7.1 Class 11 Maths प्रश्न 5.
एक सिक्का तीन बार उछाला जाता है और परिणाम अंकित कर लिए जाते हैं। परिणामों की संभव संख्या क्या है?
हल:
एक बार सिक्का उछालने से दो में से एक भाग ऊपर आता है अर्थात T या H जबकि H चित्त और T पट को निरूपित करते हैं।
एक बार सिक्का उछालने से दो परिणाम होते हैं।
तीन बार सिक्का उछालने से 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 परिणाम होंगे।
ये परिणाम इस प्रकार है :
TTT, TTH, THT, HTT, HHT, HTH, THH, HHH

Ex 7.1 Class 11 Maths प्रश्न 6.
भिन्न-भिन्न रंगों के 5 झंडे दिए हुए हैं। इससे कितने विभिन्न संकेत बनाए जा सकते हैं, यदि प्रत्येक संकेत में 2 झंडों, एक के नीचे दूसरे के प्रयोग की आवश्यक पड़ती है?
हल:
झंडे के ऊपर का स्थान भरने के 5 तरीके हैं। एक झंडा प्रयोग होने के बाद 4 झंडे रह जाते हैं। नीचे का दूसरा स्थान 4 तरीकों से भरा जा सकता है।
कुल संकेतों की संख्या = 5 x 4 = 20.
