8 0

Answer:

D 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Total no. of bulb= 5

no. of defected bulb= 3

no. of not defected bulb=2

Total no. of bulb combination = 5C2

=5!/2!(5-2)!

= 5!/2!3!

= 5×4×3×2×1/2×1×3×2×1

=120/12

=10

( since a room can be lighted with one bulb also)

total no. of bulb combination when room shall not light = 3C2

3!/2!(3-2)!

= 3!/2! 1!

= 3×2×1/2×1×1

= 6/2

=3

Now,

Total no. of trial when room shall light

=10-3

=7

Hence, number of trial when the room shall be lighted is 7 which is option d

A patient with end-stage kidney disease has nine family members who are potential kidney donors. How many possible orders are th
eduard

Answer: 504

Step-by-step explanation:

When we select r things from n things in a order , we use permutations.

Formula for permutation:  ^nP_r=\dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!}

Given : The number of family members who are potential kidney donors. = 9

Number of people needed to be selected for best match, a second-best match, and a third-best match ( in an order)=3

Then, the number of possible orders are = ^9P_3=\dfrac{9!}{(9-3)!}

=\dfrac{9\times8\times7\times6!}{6!}=504

Hence, the number of possible orders 504.
