QUESTION 1
SOLUTION

G
T

5

12
31

B
72

G = number of residents play golf


T = number of residents play tennis
B = number of residents play bridge
a) How many individual residents are there in this retirement community?
U = |G| + |T| + | B| - |G T | - | T B | - |G B| + |G T B | + | G T B |
= 38 + 21 + 56 8 13 17 + 5 + 72
= 154
b) How many of the individual residents participate in only and exactly one of the three activities?
= 18 + 5 + 31 = 54

Question 2
Solution

Derangement of 1,2,3,4,5 is D(5)


There are D(5) ways to derange 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The same arrangements required for 6,7,8,9 and
10.
Now,
D(5) = 5![ 1 1/1! + ! 1/3! + 1/4! 1/5!]
= 5![1 -1 +1/2 1/6 + 1/24 1/20]
= 44
Therefore, the total number of derangements is D(5) D(5) = 44 x 44 = 1936
