Initially, let\'s remove the 3 houses where the thief planned to steal from. Then we are left with 10 ? 3 = 7 houses as numbered below. * 1 * 2 * 3 * 4 * 5 * 6 * 7 * Now there are 8 positions as marked as * above to place the 3 houses (from where the thief steals) such that no two such houses are next to each other. This can be done in 8C3 ways. Hence, required number of ways = 8C3 = 8 × 7 × 6 3 × 2 × 1 = 56

Question 4

Time: 00:00:00
Boxes numbered 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are kept in a row and them which are to be filled with either a red or a blue ball, such that no two adjacent boxes can be filled with blue balls. Then, how many different arrangements are possible, given that all balls of a given color are exactly identical in all respects?

Total number of ways of filling the 5 boxes numbered as (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5) with either blue or red balls = 25 = 32. Now, let us determine the number of ways of filling the boxes such that the adjacent boxes are filled with blue. If we decide to have 2 adjacent boxes with blue, it can be done in 4 ways, viz. (12), (23), (34) and (45). If we decide to have 3 adjacent boxes filled with blue, it can be done in 3 ways, viz. (123), (234) and (345). If we decide to have 4 adjacent boxes filled with blue, it can be done in 2 ways, viz. (1234) and (2345). And all 5 boxes can have blue in only 1 way. Hence, the total number of ways of filling the boxes such that adjacent boxes have blue = (4 + 3 + 2 +1) = 10. Hence, the number of ways of filling up the boxes such that no two adjacent boxes have blue = 32 - 10 = 22
