howmany 3 digit numbers are there tens digit place is more than hundreds digit place and units place less than hundreds digit place?
Read Solution (Total 13)
-
- three digit numbers between that can be made are between 100 to 999
1. consider no 1_0 where hundreth place is greater than units place but for tens digit to be greater possible
combinations are tens digit can be 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 hence 8 combinations.
2.Now consider no 2_0,2_1 where hundreth place is greater than units place but for tens digit to be greater possible
combinations are tens digit can be 3,4,5,6,7,8,9 hence 2*7=14 combinations.
3.Similarly for no 3_0,3_1,3_2 there will be 18,for no 4_0,4_1,4_2,4_3 there will be 20, for no 5_0 to 5_4 there will be again 20 combinations and so on...
4. Thus order followed will be
8
14
18
20
20
18
14
8
thus in all 120 combinations. Hence 120 is the answer.

- keep the tens place fix.
start from 9. _9_ = possible options 1-8 on hundred place and 0-7 on unit place. so 8*1*8
now _8_= Same 1-7for hundred and 0-6 for unit . so 7*1*7
so on _7_ = 6*1*6
_6_ = 5*1*5
_5_= 4*1*4
_4_= 3*1*3
_3_ = 2*1*2
_2_ = 1*1*1
Finally we get 8*8+ 7*7+ 6*6 + 5*5+ 4*4+ 3*3+ 2*2+ 1*1 = 204 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(4)
- If unit place is 0 and by putting 9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2 at tens place we will get
8 comb, 7 comb, 6 comb, 5 comb, 4 comb, 3 comb, 2 comb, 1 combination respectively
= 8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1 = 36
Similarly by putting 1 at unit place and putting 9,8,7,6,5,4,3 at tens place we will get
7+6+5+4+3+2+1 = 28 combinations
Similarly by putting 2 at unit place and putting 9,8,7,6,5,4 at tens place we will get
6+5+4+3+2+1 = 21
Similary we will get
5+4+3+2+1=15
4+3+2+1=10
3+2+1=6
2+1=3
1=1
Total = 36+28+21+15+10+6+3+1 = 120 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(0)

- ans is 204
For solving this first fix the middle number and then check for the option left for ones and hundred digit.
Also we cannot have 1 & 0 in tens place. so start fixing the number from 2 onwards.
Then we will get the series as :
1*1+2*2+3*3+4*4+5*5+6*6+7*7+8*8 = 204

- Read the question carefully xyz is a 3 digit number then xz satisfies these digits
890-897=8

670-695=26
560-594=35
450-493=44
340-392=53

- lets take a 3 digit number is abc where a>b>c ,
if i take ab as single entity of pairs likes (1,9) than c can only be 0 that is one possible
similarly (2,9)={0,1}.............(8,9)={0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}=8 possiblities

- We need to form 3 digit number,
_ _ _ the rule says that tens should be greater than hundredth and it should be greater than unit digit.
So overall Tenth(T)>Hundredth(H)>Unit(U).
if we will can begin with middle one as it will be easiest.
Note** We cant take H digit to be 0, it wont be 3 digit number.
Min value H can take is 2, so T should be less than 2 i.e. 1 or 0(we can take 0 at T), but since T>U, T=1 and finally U=0. Number is 120.
Similarly, for H=3 , T= 2 or ! and U= 1 or 0 resp. So, numbers would be 231,230,130. So on,
it is a cumulative addition,
Addition= previous_addition + n-1
Ex. for n(i.e. H) = 3 ,
Addition = 1+ (3-1)
= 1+ 2 = 3 ways.
For, H=4 , Addition = 3 + 3 = 6 and so on.
so, total = 1 + 3 + 6 +10 +15 +21 +28+ 36 = 120 ways. - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
