Question 29

Archana has to choose a three-digit code for her bike lock. The digits can be chosen from 1 to 9. To help her remember them, she decides to choose three different digits in increasing order, for example 278. The number of such codes she can choose is


Correct Answer: 84

Choosing three different digits from the nine digits $$1$$ through $$9$$ uniquely determines their increasing order. Therefore the number of codes is $$\binom{9}{3}=\frac{9\cdot8\cdot7}{3\cdot2\cdot1}=84$$.
