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:
$$100 + 25=125$$
