How many 4-digit numbers are there if no digit is repeated?
Or
How many numbers are there between 1000 and 9999 so that no digit is repeated?
Number of letters in word 'Monday' = 6 (all distinct)
Number of vowels = 2 (O and A)
All six letters to be used but first letter is a vowel.
Number of arrangements for a vowel in box 1 = ...(i)
(Two vowels and one box)
We are left with 5 letters and 5 boxes.
∴ Number of permutations = ...(ii)
∴ From (i) and (ii), by fundamental principle of counting, total words formed
= 2 x 120 = 240
