Here are the key steps to solve this problem: * We are forming 3-digit numbers using the digits 1, 2, 3, 7, 9 * Repetition of digits is allowed * The numbers must be greater than 300 * There are 5 choices for each of the 3 digit places * Using the multiplication principle, there are 5 * 5 * 5 = 125 possible 3-digit numbers * However, some of these numbers will be less than 300. The smallest possible number is 111. * Therefore, the number of possible 3-digit numbers greater than 300 is 125 - 111 = 14 So the number of three-digit numbers greater than 300 that can be formed using the given digits with repetition allowed is 14

precious jewels, a 4- letter password
without repetition must be unlocked
using the letters A, B, C, and D. If
you are going to list down all the
possible codes, how many codes will
there be?

3. ×Permutation is an arrangement of objects in a specific
order.
× Permutation also refers to any one of all possible
arrangements of the elements of the given set.
× Permutation is when the order or arrangement is
IMPORTANT.

8.  Means to multiply a series of descending natural numbers.
 It's a shorthand way of writing numbers
 the product of all positive integers less than or equal to n
n n!
1 1 1 1
2 2 × 1 = 2 × 1! = 2
3 3 × 2 × 1 = 3 × 2! = 6
4 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 4 × 3! = 24
5 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 5 × 4! = 120

9. Solution:
Given: n= 3
n! = n(n-1)(n-2)….(n-r+1)
3! = 3 (3-1)(3-2)
3! = (3)(2)(1)
3! = 6
Therefore , letters ABC can
arrange in 6 ways..

33. n= 7!
n= 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1
n= 5040 Therefore, the family
members can be line up in
5040 ways.

34. n= 6! 2!
n= (6x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1) (2 x 1)
n= (720)(2)
n= 1440
Therefore, the family
members can be line up in
1440 ways if the parents
stand together.
