Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

  PPF, PFF

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several ways you can list all the possible combinations. A couple of my favorite are a) use a binary counting sequence; b) use a gray code counting sequence.

Using the first method, the binary numbers 000 to 111 can be listed in numerical order as 000, 001, 010, 011, 100, 101, 110, 111. Letting 0=P and 1=F, the ones missing from your list are the ones in italics in my list.

Using the second method, we change the right-most character, then the middle one, and finally the left-most character so there is one change at a time: 000, 001, 011, 010, 110, 111, 101, 100.

After you have a list of all possible combinations, it is a simple matter to compare the given list to the list of possibilities to see which are missing.
