Question

Suppose a company needs temporary passwords for the trial of a new time management software. Each password will have one digit, followed by one letter, followed by two digits. The digit 7 will not be used. So, there are 26 letters and 9 digits that will be used. Assume that the digits can be repeated. How many passwords can be created using this format?

Answer 1

Answer:  18954

Step-by-step explanation:

The given format for password :  Each password will have one digit, followed by one letter, followed by two digits. The digit 7 will not be used. So, there are 26 letters and 9 digits that will be used.

We assume that the digits can be repeated.

Then by using fundamental principle of counting,

Number of passwords can be created =  (Number of digits) x (Number of letters) x (Number of digits)x(Number of digits)    

= 9 x 26 x 9 x 9

=  18954

Hence, Number of passwords can be created=  18954
