Thanks Heureka :)
Hey guys, I need some help :(
I have this question related about permutation and combination. Can you help me please? :<
The 4-digits numbers are 5352, 5114, 5818,..., have 2 common characteristics. First, they start with the digit 5. Second, exactly 2 digits in each numbers are identical. How many such numbers are there?
11(the third digit can be (0,2,3,4,6,7,8,9)
The third digit can be 1st 2nd or third so that it 8*3=24
There are 9 double digit possiblilities if you do not reuse 5 = 24*9=216 permutation.
Heureka's answer is different because he has allowed the 5 to be used once or twice.
So I would need to add all the ones with 2 fives.
9*8*3=216
216+216=432
Great, my answer is the same as Heureka's
If you want more explanation then ask :)
