Soln.:
30=2*3*5
So x,y,z can take any values among 2,3,5 in 3 ways....
3^3=27 ways we can select d no.s......

So option (a) is correct....

Giv ur best to d world.
Nd d best will cm back to u......

Soln.:
        The no. of ways are:120C30*(90C40 + 90C50) + 120C40(80C30+80C50) +120C50(70C30+70C50)
                                   =120!*3/30!40!50!

So option (d) is correct....

Giv ur best to d world.
Nd d best will cm back to u......

Soln.:He can select in:
        2x+1C1+2x+1C2+...+2x+1Cx=2^2x-2x+1C0 =2^2x-1 ways
        According to the qs
        2^2x-1=63
       =>x=3
So option (a) is correct....

Giv ur best to d world.
Nd d best will cm back to u......
