Permutation and Combination
Find the sum of the number of combinations possible by using 1,2,3,4 such that no number is repeated(ex:- 1223,4322 are invalid 1234,4321 are valid)more than once.

- total no. formed = 4!=4*3*2*1=24
each digit will be used at each positions, 6 times
sum of digits at unit place = 6*1+6*2+6*3+6*4 = 6*(1+2+3+4)= 60
this sum will be same for hundred, tens & unit places
sum of all 4 digit numbers formed using digits 1,2,3,4
= 1000*60+100*60+10*60+60
=60*(1000+100+10+1)
=60*1111
=66660

- there is a short-cut process:
let no of digit= n;
then (n-1)!*(111...up to n times)*(sum of digits)= sum of all possible numbers
eg: (3!)(1111)(10)=66660 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(23) No(0)
- Clearly if a number is fixed at any position eg 1] _ _ _ ,
it yields 6 possibilities.
We are required to find out sum of those nos. of combinations using 1 2 3 and 4.
Sum at each place= 6(1+2+3+4)= 60
Sum of the number of combinations possible =60*(1+10+100+1000)=66660 (Ans)

- Surendhran i think u guessed it in a wrong way.. Question was the sum of the numbers not digits.. Consider 2 different combinations- 1234+2134=3368.. Clearly, it already crossed 240.. More combinations to come.

- sum of digits: (4+3+2+1)=10 & 4! possible permutations occur. in each place each digit is repeated 6 times. so, 10*6=60 is sum at each place. total sum= (60*1000)+(60*100)+(60*10)+60=66660

- no of combos = 4*3*2*1=24
6tyms 6*(1+2+3+4)=60
for 4 places= 60(1000+100+10+1)

- This type of sum has particular formulae to memorize....
(N-1)!*(a1+a2+a3+.....+aN)*((10^n-1)/9)
=(4-1)!*(1+2+3+4)*((10^4-1)/9)
=66660 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- answer is:66660
well easy way is we can solve it by sum of series formula i.e. (n/2)(a+l)
where a is first term and l is last term
now n is total number which 4!=24(by arrangement)
thus (24/2)(1234+4321)=66660...here 1234 will be first term and 4321 will last term - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- 1234=10
3421=10
2143=10
4312=10

- total combination is 24
for each combination addition is 10
so sum of total combination is 240
ans is 240 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(5)
- total combination is 4*3*2*1=24...and the sum of the nos for every no is 4+3+2+1=10..so sum=24*10=240

- Use formula
n=no. of number series given(4 i.e. 1,2,3,4)
(sum of no.)*(n no of 1)*(n-1)!
(1+2+3+4)*(1111)*(4-1)! =66660 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
