SOLUTION TO 46: Option (d) is not possible as if Prashant , Sohail, Nitin and Viswjit
are in team of size 4, then size 3 would consist of Dilip and Ashwini which is not
possible. Hence, (d)
SOLUTION TO 47: If Abhinav and Sonu form a group of size 2, then only one of Dilip or
Aswini must be there in group of size 4. The following cases are possibleCase 1: If Prashant and Sohail are not in group size 4
In this case, Dhiraj-Nitin and Viswjit will be in group size 4. The fourth member is one
among Dilip and Ashwini. Thus, two such groups are possible.
Case 2: If Prashant and Sohail are in group size 4
In this case, the third member can be selected in two ways (i.e. between Ashwini and
Dilip) and fourth member can be selected in three ways (i.e. among Viswjit, Nitin and
Dhiraj). So, number of ways = 23 = 6 ways.
Thus, total ways of selection = 2 + 6 = 8 ways. Hence, (b)
SOLUTION TO 48: If Abhinav and Sonu are selected in team of size 4 while Prashant
and Sohail are selected in team of size 3, then the possible members of team of size 2
can be selected in these waysCase 1: if Dilip or Ashwini is selected.
The other player can be one of Viswjit, Nitin and Dhiraj i.e. ways of selection is 23 = 6 .
Case 2: If Dilip or Ashwini both are not selected.
The two players will be two of Viswjit, Nitin and Dhiraj. 2 out of 3 can be selected in
C(3,2)= 3 ways.
Total ways of selection = 6 +3 = 9 ways. Hence, (a)
SOLUTION TO 49: We need to keep in mind that Ashwini and Dilip cannot be in same
group and Sonu and Dilip cannot be in same group. (i) is not feasible as then Ashwini,
Sonu and Dilip will be in group of size 4. (ii) is not feasible as Ashwini and Dilip would
be in same group then. (iii) is not possible as Ashwini and Dilip will be together in same
group. (iv) is not feasible as Sonu and Dilip would be in same group. Hence, (d)
SOLUTION TO 50: Two M.As are selected, so at least one M.Stat should be selected.
So, options (d) is eliminated. Option(a) is not possible as two M.B.As cannot be
selected. Option (b) is eliminated as if one M.Stat is selected then M.Tech is not
selected. Hence, (c)
SOLUTION TO 51: Option (a) and (b) are eliminated directly. Option (c) is false as when
exactly two M.Stats are selected, two M.A.s can be selected to form a group. Option (d)
is correct i.e. if two M.C.As are selected then one M.A. and one M.B.A can be selected to
form a group. Hence, (d)
SOLUTION TO 52: If two M.Stats are selected, then two exactly M.As are definitely
selected. Thus, three M.As cannot be selected. Hence, (c)
SOLUTION TO 53: If none of two M.C.As are selected, the groups so formed can be
