Answer:

a) 6561

b) 3024

c) 1296

Explanation:

Given : Using the digits 1 through 9.

To find : The number of different 4-digit numbers such that :

(a) Digits can be used more than once.

(b) Digits cannot be repeated. 2 .

(c) Digits cannot be repeated and must be written in increasing order.

Solution :

Digits are 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

We have to form different 4-digit number let it be _ _ _ _

(a) Digits can be used more than once.

For first place there are 9 possibilities.

For second place there are 9 possibility as number repeats.

Same for third and fourth we have 9 possibility.

The number of ways are
9* 9* 9* 9=6561

(b) Digits cannot be repeated.

For first place there are 9 possibilities.

For second place there are 8 possibility as number do not repeats.

For third place there are 7 possibility as number do not repeats.

For fourth place there are 6 possibility as number do not repeats.

The number of ways are
9* 8* 7* 6=3024

c) Digits cannot be repeated and must be written in increasing order.

The number which we can use on first position are 1,2,3,4,5,6 i.e. 6

The number which we can use on second position are 2,3,4,5,6,7 i.e. 6

The number which we can use on third position are 3,4,5,6,7,8 i.e. 6

The number which we can use on fourth position are 4,5,6,7,8,9 i.e. 6

Total number of ways are
6* 6* 6* 6=1296
