====== Question 11 Exercise 6.2 ====== Solutions of Question 11 of Exercise 6.2 of Unit 06: Permutation, Combination and Probablity. This is unit of A Textbook of Mathematics for Grade XI is published by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Textbook Board (KPTB or KPTBB) Peshawar, Pakistan. =====Question 11===== How many numbers each lying between $10$ and $1000$ can be formed with digits $2.3,4,0,8,9$ using only once? ====Solution==== We will form numbers greater than $10$ and less than $1000$. So some number will consist just two digits, and some will contain three digits. Thus we split into two parts as:\\ (i) Numbers greater than $10$ but less than $100$ These numbers will consist just two digits ten digit and unit digit. Ten digit: Event $E_1$ occurs in $m_1=5$ Unit digit: Event $E_2$ occurs in $m_2=5$. Hence the total numbers by fundamental principle of counting greater than $10$ and less than $100$ are: $$m_1 \cdot m_2=5.5=25$$ (ii) Numbers greater than $100$ and less than $1000$ In this case cach number will consist of three digits but hundred digit place can not be occupy by the digit $0$ \\ Hundred digit: Event $E_1$ occurs in $m_1=5$ Ten digit: Event $E_2$ occurs in $\boldsymbol{m}_2=5$ Unit digit:Event $E_3$ occurs in $m_3=4$. Hence by fundamental principle of counting numbers greater than $100$ and less than $1000$ are $$m_1 \cdot m_2 \cdot m_3=5.5 \cdot 4=100$$ Thus the total numbers greater than $10$ and less than $1000$ are: $$100 + 25=125$$ ====Go To==== [[math-11-kpk:sol:unit06:ex6-2-p6 |< Question 10 ]] [[math-11-kpk:sol:unit06:ex6-2-p8|Question 12 >]]
