What is Combination?

Combinations are selections made by taking some or all of a number of objects, irrespective of their arrangements.

Here, number plate contains 5 numbers and 2 letters

Total possible number (0-9) = 10

Total possible letters (A-Z) = 26

Possible number plates which contains 5 numbers and 2 letters are

          ¹⁰C₁ X  ¹⁰C₁ X  ¹⁰C₁ X  ¹⁰C₁ X  ¹⁰C₁ X ²⁶C₁ X ²⁶C₁

             10 X 10 X 10 X 10 X 10 X 26 X 26

                 10⁵ X 26²

                   676 X 10⁵

                 67600000

Thus, the number of possible license plates that can be issued using this system is 67600000.
