From a library containing 5 identical physics books

Question 5:- From a library containing 5 identical physics books, 4 identical chemistry books & 6 identical maths books. Find the number of ways in which we can select

(a) At least one book

(b) At least one book of each subject

(c) At least 2 books

(d) At least 2 book of each subject.

Solution:- Number of Physics book = 5

Number of Chemistry book = 4

Number of maths book = 6

(a) Number of ways of selecting books = (5+1)×(4+1)×(6+1)

= 6×5×7 = 210

Number of ways of selecting at least one identical book = 210 -1 = 209

(b) Number of ways of selecting at least one book of each subject = 5×4×6

= 120

(c) Number of ways of selecting books = (5+1)×(4+1)×(6+1)

= 6×5×7 = 210

Number of ways of selecting no book = 1

Number of ways of selecting one book = 1 + 1 + 1  = 3

Hence, Number of ways of at least two book = 210 – 3 – 1 = 206

(d) Number of ways of selecting at least two book of each subject

=(5 – 1)(4 – 1)(6 – 1)

= 60

Question 1:- Let S be the set of all passwords which are six to eight characters long, where each character is either an alphabet from {A, B, C, D, E} or a number {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} with the repetition of characters allowed. If the number of passwords in S whose at least one character is a number from {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} is \alpha× 5^6, then α is equal to
