There is a 3 digit positive number such that sum of all its digits is equal to 6. How many such number are possible.

OPtion

1) 13
2) 15
3) 16
4) 17
5) 18
6) 19
7) 20
8) 21
9) 22
10) 23

Solution

Total numbers using
6,0,0 = 1×2!/2! = 1
5,1,0 = 2 × 2! = 4
4,2,0 = 2 × 2! = 4
4,1,1 = 3!/2! = 3
3,2,1 = 3! = 6
3,3,0 = 1 × 2! = 2
2,2,2 = 1
So total numbers = 21

The sum of 3 digit number is 6 so digit can be from 0 to 6.

Now See the possibilities -
600 -> 1 number
501 -> 4 number (501, 510, 105, 150)
402 -> 4 number (402, 420, 204, 240)
303 -> 2 number (303, 330)
113 -> 3 number (113, 131, 311)
213 -> 6 numbers (123, 132, 213, 231, 312, 321)
222 -> 1 number (222)

so total number =21

the combinations of the no whose sum is 6 are
~150= 3!-2 number= 4 (2 subracted for 015 and 051)
~141=3!/2! number= 3
~132=3! number=6
~222= 1 number=1
~240=6!-2 number=4 (2 for 024 and 042)
~330=2 number (ie 330 and 303)
~600= 1 number
total=4+3+6+1+4+2+1=21 number
