How many possible license plates are possible if repetitions are allowed?
Explanation / Answer
Here number plates are like in the fomat i.e 1ADF347
(i) Now we know the no repetititons are allowed
so there are 10 eligible number at first digit, for letters there are 26 alphabets present.
so total combinations = 10 * 26 * 25 * 24 * 9 * 8 * 7 = 78,624,000
(ii) Now repetitions are allowed so each number has 10 possibilites and each digits have 26 possibilities
so total possible plates are = 10 * 26 * 26 * 26 * 10 * 10 * 10 = 175,760,000
