Question

A license plate consists of 2 letters followed by 3 digits. How many license plates are possible if the 1st digit cannot be 0, and letters and digits may repeat

Answer 1

There are 608400 plates are possible.

If the first is A, we have 26 possibilities:

AA, AB, AC,AD,AE ...................................... AW, AX, AY, AZ.

If the first is B, we have 26 possibilities:

BA, BB, BC, BD, BE .........................................BW, BX,BY,BZ

And so on for every letter of the alphabet.

There are 26 choices for the first letter and 26 choices for the second letter. The number of different combinations of 2 letters is:

26×26=676

The same applies for the three digits.

There are 9 choices for the first as first digit cannot be 0

10 for the second,

10 for the third

9×10×10=900

So for a license plate which has 2 letters and 3 digits, there are:

676 × 900 = 608400 possibilities
