How many positive integers ‘n’ can we form using the digits 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6, 7 if we want ‘n’ to exceed 6,000,000?
Explanation:
As n has to exceed 6,000,000, the first digit of n can be 6 or 7.
Case (i):
The first digit of n is 6. Then the other six digits are to be chosen from 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7.
They can be arranged in 6!2! = 360 ways
Case (ii):
The first digit of n is 7.
Then the other six digits are to be chosen from 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6.
They can be arranged in 6!2!×2! = 180 ways
∴ Total number of arrangements = 360 + 180 = 540
Hence, option (c).
