Any selection of four digits from the ten digits 0, 1, 2, 3, . . . . . , 9 gives one number. So, the required number of numbers $$ = {\,^{10}}{C_4}.$$

The number of permutations of the letters of the word $$HINDUSTAN$$ such that neither the pattern $$'HIN'$$ nor $$'DUS'$$ nor $$'TAN'$$ appears, are
Total number of permutations $$ = \frac{{9!}}{{2!}}$$
Number of those containing $$'HIN' = 7!$$
Number of those containing $$'DUS' = \frac{{7!}}{{2!}}$$
Number of those containing $$'TAN' = 7!$$
Number of those containing $$'HIN'$$ and $$'DUS' = 5!$$
Number of those containing $$'HIN'$$ and $$'TAN' = 5!$$
Number of those containing $$'TAN'$$ and $$'DUS' = 5!$$
Number of those containing $$'HIN', 'DUS'$$ and $$'TAN' = 3!$$
Required number
$$ = \frac{{9!}}{{2!}}\left( {7!\, + 7!\, + \frac{{7!}}{2}} \right) + 3 \times 5!\, - 3! = 169194.$$

If $$a, b, c$$ are three natural numbers in A.P. and $$a + b + c = 21$$ then the possible number of values of the ordered triplet $$(a, b, c)$$ is
$$a + a + d + a + 2d = 21$$ or, $$a + d = 7$$
∴ $$a + c = 14$$ and $$b = 7.$$
The number of positive integral solutions of $$(a + c = 14)$$ is 13.

In a 12 - storey house ten people enter a lift cabin. It is known that they will left in groups of 2, 3 and 5 people at different storeys. The number of ways they can do so if the lift does not stop to the second storey is
Leaving the ground floor and second floor, their are 10 floors in which three groups of
people can left the lift cabin in $$^{10}{P_3}$$ ways, i.e. 720 ways.

The total number of ways in which a beggar can be given at least one rupee from four 25-paisa coins, three 50-paisa coins and 2 one-rupee coins, is
\[\begin{gathered}

We know that the number of ways of distributing $$n$$ identical items among $$r$$ persons, when each one of them receives at least one item is $$^{n - 1}{C_{r - 1}}$$
∴ The required number of ways
$${ = ^{8 - 1}}{C_{3 - 1}} = {\,^7}{C_2} = \frac{{7!}}{{2!5!}} = \frac{{7 \times 6}}{{2 \times 1}} = 21$$

The number of numbers of 9 different nonzero digits such that all the digits in the first four places are less than the digit in the middle and all the digits in the last four places are greater than that in the middle is
$$\frac{{1,2,3,4}}{{ \times \times \times \times }}\,\,5\,\,\frac{{6,7,8,9}}{{ \times \times \times \times }}$$ The required number of numbers $$ = {\,^4}{P_4} \times {\,^4}{P_4}.$$

How many different nine digit numbers can be formed from the number 223355888 by rearranging its digits so that the odd digits occupy even positions?
$$X - X - X - X - X.$$ The four digits 3, 3, 5, 5 can be arranged at $$(-)$$ places in $$\frac{{4!}}{{2!2!}} = 6\,\,{\text{ways}}{\text{.}}$$
The five digits 2, 2, 8, 8, 8 can be arranged at $$(X)$$ places in $$\frac{{5!}}{{2!3!}} = 10\,\,{\text{ways}}{\text{.}}$$
Total no. of arrangements $${\text{ = }}\,{\text{6}} \times {\text{10}}\,{\text{ = }}\,{\text{60}}\,\,{\text{ways}}{\text{.}}$$

The sides $$AB, BC, CA$$ of a trangle $$ABC$$ have 3,
4 and 5 interior points respectively on them. The total number of triangles that can be constructed by using these points as vertices is
We have in all 12 points. Since, 3 points are used to form a triangle, therefore the total
number of triangles including the triangles formed by collinear points on $$AB, BC$$ and $$CA$$ is $$^{12}{C_3} = 220.$$ But this includes the following :
The number of triangles formed by 3 points on $$AB = {\,^3}{C_3} = 1.$$
The number of triangles formed by 4 points on $$BC = {\,^4}{C_3} = 4.$$
The number of triangles formed by 5 points on $$CA = {\,^5}{C_3} = 10.$$
Hence, required number of triangles $$ = 220 - \left( {10 + 4 + 1} \right) = 205.$$
