Given: We have 5 digits i.e. 2,3,4,5,6
To Find: Number of 3-digit numbers
Condition: (i) Number should be greater than 600
(ii) Repetition of digits is allowed
For forming a 3 digit number, we have to fill 3 vacant spaces.
But as the number should be above 600, hence the first place must be occupied with 6 only because no other number is greater than 6.
Let us represent the 3-digit number
So the first place is filled with 6 = 1 ways
Second place can be filled with 5 numbers = 5 ways
Third place can be filled with 5 numbers = 5 ways
Total number of ways = 1 × 5 × 5 = 25
Total number of 3-digit numbers above 600 which can be formed by using the digits 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 with repetition allowed is 25
