drraju's problem please solve it

1.Given that there are 10 balls and 10 bags and 3 balls are of same kind. In how many ways these ‘10’ balls can be arranged in 10 bags, such that no bag should be left empty?
(Similar to this)

2.In a hotel, the room numbers of a floor are numbered from 101 to 550. If particular rooms selected are of numbers that start with 1, 2, 3 and lasts with 4, 5, 6 then in how many ways the rooms can be selected?
(Similar to this)

3.A crew of 12 members has to be seated around a dinning table. If the distance between each person to the other is 2.5ft, then what is the minimum length of the dinning table?

4. In an apartment 92% have cars and 14% have bikes and everyone in the apartment have either bike or a car.
Col A: Fraction of the people having car as well as bike
Col B: 1/10

2. All room numbers are three digits.
Hundred's digit is 1,2,3 so 3 ways of choosing first digit.
Ten's digit can be 0-9 so 10 ways of choosing second digit.
Unit's digit can be 4,5,6 so 3 ways of choosing it.

total # of ways = 3 X 10 X 3 = 90 ways.

3. Square table will have the smallest length. Each side seats 4 people so 3 spaces in-between= 3 X 2.5=7.5 ft.

Thanks!

Curly213,

Here is the seating arrangement I am looking at (not lining up properly. Going clockwise, 1234 horizontal top, below 4 is 5,6,7 and so on..)

1 2 3 4

12 5

11 6

10 9 8 7

In this case minimum length would be 7.5 ft.

Thanks!
