Answer 1

A ; 3276000 (second answer)

Explanation:

think of it like this:

L L # # # # ( six symbols, L for letters, # for numbers)

26 X 26 X 10 X 10 X 10 X10 = 6760000

If we take away repetition then the equation would look like this:

L L # # # # ( 26 then 25 due to the loss of a letter due to no )

26 X 25 X 10 X 9 X 8 X 7 ( Repetition. Same with 10,9,8,7 )

Therefore the answer to the second question isn't even up there which is 3276000.

Hope this helps...
