A double-decker bus carry `(u+e)` passengers, `u` in the upper deck and `e` in the lower deck. Find the number of ways in which the `u+e` passengers can be distributed in the two decks, if `r(lt=e)` particular passengers refuse to go in the upper deck and `s(lt=u)` refuse to sit in the lower deck.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of distributing \( u + e \) passengers in a double-decker bus with specific restrictions, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Total Passengers and Restrictions**: - We have \( u \) seats in the upper deck and \( e \) seats in the lower deck. - There are \( r \) passengers who refuse to go in the upper deck (they must sit in the lower deck). - There are \( s \) passengers who refuse to sit in the lower deck (they must sit in the upper deck). 2. **Determine Available Seats**: - Since \( r \) passengers must sit in the lower deck, the number of available seats in the lower deck becomes \( e - r \). - Since \( s \) passengers must sit in the upper deck, the number of available seats in the upper deck becomes \( u - s \). 3. **Calculate Total Available Seats**: - The total number of seats available for distribution is: \[ (u - s) + (e - r) = u + e - r - s \] 4. **Selecting Passengers for the Upper Deck**: - We need to choose \( u - s \) passengers for the upper deck from the total \( u + e - r - s \) passengers. The number of ways to choose these passengers is given by the combination formula: \[ \binom{u + e - r - s}{u - s} \] 5. **Selecting Passengers for the Lower Deck**: - After selecting passengers for the upper deck, the remaining passengers will be seated in the lower deck. The number of ways to choose \( e - r \) passengers for the lower deck from the remaining passengers is: \[ \binom{e - r}{e - r} \] - Since we are choosing all remaining passengers for the lower deck, this simplifies to 1. 6. **Final Calculation**: - The total number of ways to distribute the passengers is: \[ \text{Total Ways} = \binom{u + e - r - s}{u - s} \times 1 = \binom{u + e - r - s}{u - s} \] ### Final Answer: \[ \text{Total Ways} = \frac{(u + e - r - s)!}{(u - s)!(e - r)!} \]

Le Chatelier's Principle If a system at equilibrium is subjected to a change of any one of the factors such as concentration, pressure or temperature, the system adjusts itself in such a way as to nullify the effect of that change. Change of pressure : If a system consists of gases, then the concentration of all the components can be alterd by changing the pressure. To increase the pressure on the system,the volume has to be decreased proportionally. The total number of mols per unit volume will now be more and the equilibrium will shift in the direction in which there is a decrease in number of moles i,e. towards the direction in which there can be decrease in pressure. Effect of pressure on melting point : There are two types of solids: (a) Solids whose volume decreases on melting e.g., ice,diamond carborundum magnesium nitride and quratz. Solids (higher volume) hArr Liquid (lower volume) The process of melting is facilitated at high pressure, thus, melting point is lowerd. (b) Solids whose volume increase on melting e.g.,Fe,Cu,Ag,Au,etc. Solid (lower volume) hArr Liquid (higher volume) In this case the process of melting become difficult at high pressure, thus melting point becomes high. (c) Solubility of substances : When solid substances are dissolved in water, either heat is evolved (exothermic) or heat is absorbed (endothermic). KCI+aqhArrKCI(aq)-heat In such cases, solubility increase with increase in temperature. Consider the case of KOH, when this is dissolved,heat is evolved. KOH+aqhArrKOH(aq)+heat In such cases, solubility decrease with increase in temperature. (d) Solubility of gases in liquids : When a gas dissolves in liquid,there is decrease in volume. Thus increase of pressure will favour the dissolution of gas in liquid. Au(s) hArr Au(l) Above equsilibrium is favoured at :

In a conservative force field we can find the radial component of force from the potential energy function by using F = -(dU)/(dr) . Here, a positive force means repulsion and a negative force means attraction. From the given potential energy function U(r ) we can find the equilibrium position where force is zero. We can also find the ionisation energy which is the work done to move the particle from a certain position to infinity. Let us consider a case in which a particle is bound to a certain point at a distance r from the centre of the force. The potential energy of the particle is : U(r )=(A)/(r^(2))-(B)/(r ) where r is the distance from the centre of the force and A andB are positive constants. Answer the following questions. If the total energy of the particle is E=-(3B^(2))/(16A) , and it is known that the motion is radial only then the velocity is zero at
