$\color{red}{Q) \mathbf{About\; independent Data items : }}$

While multiplying, you should take care of productive states.

$\color{green}{i) \text{ no.of ZERO’s are exactly ‘n’ and no.of ONE’s exactly ‘m’  : }}$

$\;\;\;\color{blue}{ \text{ Number of ZERO’s the strings exactly = n  :  }}\color{blue}{\text{  n+2}} = \color{magenta}{\text{  (n+1)+(1 DS)}}$

$\;\;\;\color{blue}{ \text{ Number of ONE’s the strings exactly = m  :  }}\color{blue}{\text{  m+2}} = \color{magenta}{\text{  (m+1)+(1 DS)}}$

$\color{DarkOrange}{\text{Answer = (n+1)*(m+1) + 1}}$

 

$\color{green}{ii) \text{ no.of ZERO’s are exactly ‘n’ and no.of ONE’s atleast ‘m’  : }}$

$\;\;\;\color{blue}{ \text{ Number of ZERO’s the strings exactly = n  :  }}\color{blue}{\text{  n+2}} = \color{magenta}{\text{  (n+1)+(1 DS)}}$

$\;\;\;\color{blue}{ \text{ Number of ONE’s the strings exactly = m  :  }}\color{blue}{\text{  m+2}} = \color{magenta}{\text{  (m+1)}}$

Yesterday I received a text message from some site called "wooe" and I think many other GATE aspirants would have also received the same. 
They advertise by sending the below SMS: 
GATE 2020 Important Notification released all aspirant are advised to check click http://bit.ly/2moRuzB
Screenshot below:
 
It seems like they are offering test series for ₹479 and they give free "netflix" for one year for "educational purposes". They also claim to have faculties from IIT-Madras. 
Adding to this there are a lot of reviews to this in Quora. All these reviews are fake.
There are complaints lodged against this website which can be seen in consumer court site as well.
 
GATE site has this below message: (http://gate.iitd.ac.in/
"GATE 2020 authority is not involved with any specially designed test series for GATE aspirants. Please do not believe in the phishing/fake emails which are being circulated to the GATE aspirants by some fraudulent groups . Please note that all the relevant information about the GATE 2020 is available only at this official website."
 
Hopefully this keeps everyone informed here and prevent people falling prey to such frauds.
