SOLUTION
Back-up Theory
Number of ways of arranging n things among themselves = n! = n(n - 1)(n - 2) …… 3.2.1...............................….(1)
Values of n!can be directly obtained using Excel Function: Math & Trig FACT (Number).................................. (1a)
Number of ways of arranging n things taking only r at a time = nPr = (n!)/{(n - r)!}….........................................…(2)
Number of ways of selecting r things out of n things is given by nCr = (n!)/{(r!)(n - r)!}…..................................…(3)
Values of nCr can be directly obtained using Excel Function: Math & Trig COMBIN(Number, Number_chosen)
[Number is n, Number_chosen is r]…………………..............................................................……………………. (3a)
Now to work out the solution,
Part (a)
Given, 5 universities and that rearranging the order would result in a different itinerary, number of possible itinerary = 5! [vide (1)]
= 120 Answer
Part (b)
Here we need to arrange 5 taking only 3 at a time. Vide (2), number of possible itinerary
= 5P3 = (5!)/(2!)
= 5 x 4 x 3
= 60 Answer
Part (c)
Since rearranging the 4 courses selected among themselves does not alter the selection, this is a case of combination of 28 courses taking 4 at a time, which is given by 28C4 = (28!)/{(4!)(24)!} [vide (3)]
= 20475 [vide (3a)] Answer
Part (d)
In this situation, with 4 courses cancelled, only 24 courses are available for selection. Of these 24, the student wants to necessarily pick one particular course [the one whose Professor is retiring]. Thus, it is a case of selecting 3 out of remaining 23 course, which given by 23C3 = (23!)/{(3!)(20)!} [vide (3)]
= (23 x 22 x 21)/(3 x 2 x1)
= (23 x 11 x 7)
= 1771 Answer
