Concept:

Permutation: Permutation is defined as an arrangement of r things that can be done out of total n things. This is denoted by 

\({\;^n}{P_r} = \frac{{n!}}{{\left( {n - r} \right)!}}\)

Calculation:

Here order matters for example 123 and 132 are two different numbers. Therefore, there will be as many 3 digit numbers as there are permutations

of 9 different digits taken 3 at a time.

Therefore, the required 3 digit numbers 

⇒ In 3rd place required number = 9

⇒ in 2nd place required number = 8

⇒ In 1st place required number = 7

So, 3 - digit number form by 

⇒ 9 × 8 × 7

⇒ 504

How many 3-digit numbers can be formed from 3 6 8 and 9 if repetition is not allowed
Additional Information

Combination: The number of selections of r objects from the given n objects is denoted by  

nCr = \(\rm \frac{n!}{r! (n - r)!}\)

Answer:

64 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

If repetition is allowed:

  • P = n^r
  • Let n be the number of objects , taken at r at a time

Given that the numbers are 3,6,8, and 9 thus , n = 4 , taken at r = 3 digits

P = n^r

P = 4^3

P = 64

  • How many 3-digit numbers can be formed from 3 6 8 and 9 if repetition is not allowed

  • How many 3-digit numbers can be formed from 3 6 8 and 9 if repetition is not allowed

How many 3

There are 504 different 3-digit numbers which can be formed from numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 if no repetition is allowed. Note: We can also use the multiplication principle to answer this question.

How many 3

Therefore, '6' three-digit numbers can be formed.
Hence, the correct option is (d).

How many combinations of 3 numbers can you have with repetition?

There are 6 = 3x2x1 ways to order 3 digits in a row. Thus the number of combinations of 3 of the 10 digits is 720/6 = 120 combinations.

How many 3

So, without repeating, six 3- digit number are formed. Total 6 + 6 = 12. Hence 12, 2-digit & 3-digit numbers can be formed by using the digits 3, 5, 6 without repeating any digit. KPSC Group C exam dates announced!
