Answer:
21 ways
Step-by-step explanation:
number = 7 digit
5 digit no = 52115
to find out
How many different seven-digit numbers
solution
first we need to place the two missing 3s in the number 52115
we consider here two cases
case 1 the two 3's appear separated (like 532135 or 3521135)
case 2 the two 3's appear together (like 5332115 or 5211533)
Case 1 we can see that number type as _5_2_1_1_5_
place 3's placeholders show potential locations
( type a ) for 3's separated we will select 2 of 6 place and place 3 in every location so we do this 6C2 = (15) ways
and (type b): again use same step as _5_2_1_1_5_
here 3s together for criterion and we will select 1 of the 6 place and place both 3s here and there are 6 ways.
so that here will be 15+6=21 ways
If 3 and 3 are separate so 6C2 = 15 ways
If 3 and 3 are together so there = 6 ways
= 15 + 6 = 21 ways
