Permutations and Combinations provide the foundational logic for counting techniques and arrangement principles essential for advanced probability and data analysis. These concepts carry high weightage as they bridge the gap between basic algebra and complex competitive problem-solving scenarios in the JEE curriculum.
JEE Main 2027 Engineering Focus: High-Yield Problem Solving & Negative Marking Defense
- Session 1 Registration Timeline: Registration for JEE Main 2027 Session 1 opens in November on jeemain.nta.nic.in. January exam performance sets your prime percentile baseline.
- Negative Marking Safeguard (-1): Eliminate blind guesswork. Prioritize question selection, dimensional checks, and options elimination to maximize net marks.
- Multi-Concept Problem Linkages: JEE questions integrate multiple domains (e.g. Calculus with Mechanics, or Thermodynamics with Equilibrium) into single composite problems.
- Timed Shift PYQ Practice: Solve at least 15-20 recent shift questions (2021-2026) under a strict 2.5-minute timer per numerical/MCQ.

- nPr = n! / (n-r)! : Represents the number of ways to arrange r items out of n unique items.
- nCr = n! / (r! * (n-r)!) : Represents the number of ways to choose/select r items out of n unique items, regardless of order.

Correct Answer: 414
Explanation: Case-I: $1 \rightarrow7$ times and $-1 \rightarrow2$ times number of possible marrix $= \; \frac{9 !}{7 ! 2 !}=36$ Case-II: $1 \rightarrow6$ times, $-1 \rightarrow1$ times and $0 \rightarrow2$ times number of possible marrix $= \; \frac{9 !}{6 ! 2 !}=252$ Case-III: $1 \rightarrow5$ times and $0 \rightarrow4$ times number of possible marrix $= \; \frac{9 !}{5 ! 4 !}=126$ Hence total number of all such matrix $A=414$

Correct Answer: (b)
Explanation: $x+y+z=15$ $\; \text{Total no. solution} \; = {}^{15+3-1}C_3 = 136 \ldots \; \text{(1)}$ $\; \text{Let} \; x=y \neq z$ $2x+z=15 \Rightarrow z=15-2t$ $\Rightarrow r \in \{0,1,2,\ldots 7\}-\{5\}$ $\therefore 7 \; \text{solutions}$ $\therefore \; \text{there are} \; 21 \; \text{solutions in which exactly}$ $\; \text{Two of} \; x, y, z \; \text{are equal \ldots (2)}$ $\; \text{There is one solution in which} \; x=y=z \ldots \; \text{(3)}$ $\; \text{Required answer} \; =136-21-1=144$

Correct Answer: (c)
Explanation: Words starting with A,L,M $=\frac{4!}{2!}+4!+\frac{4!}{2!}=48$ Words starting with SA,SL= $\frac{3!}{2!}+3!=9$ ⇒ Rank of the word SMALL = 58

Correct Answer: 11
Explanation: 4 dice are independently thrown. Each die has probability to show 3 or 5 is $p = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}$ $\therefore q = 1 - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3}$ (not showing 3 or 5) Experiment is performed with 4 dices independently. ∴ Their binomial distribution is $(q + p)^{4} = q^{4} + {}^{4}C_{1} q^{3} p + {}^{4}C_{2} q^{2} p^{2}$ $+ {}^{4}C_{3} q p^{3} + {}^{4}C_{4} p^{4}$ $\therefore$ In one throw of each dice probability of showing 3 or 5 at least twice is $= p^{4} + {}^{4}C_{3} q p^{3} + {}^{4}C_{2} q^{2} p^{2}$ $= \frac{33}{81}$ $\therefore$ Such experiment performed 27 times $\therefore$ so expected out comes $= np$ $= \frac{33}{81} \times 27$ $= 11$

Correct Answer: (c)
Explanation: ${}^{n}P_{r}={}^{n}P_{rtl}\Rightarrow \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}=\frac{n!}{(n-r-1)!}$ $\Rightarrow (n-r)=1$ ........(1) ${}^{n}C_{r}={}^{n}C_{r-1}$ $\Rightarrow \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}=\frac{n!}{(r-1)!(n-r+1)!}$ $r\frac{1}{r(n-r)!}=\frac{1}{(n-r+1)(n-r)!}$ $\Rightarrow n-r+1=r$ $\Rightarrow n+1=2r$ .......(2) (1) $\Rightarrow 2r-1-r=1\Rightarrow r=2$
