a) 1668
b) 1998
c) 2006
d) 2106
correct answer is: b) 1998
Explanation
To find the sum of all three digits numbers that can be formed using the digits 2, 3, and 4 without repetition, we can first count how many such numbers create and then calculate their sum.
\rightarrow We have 3 choices for the hundreds place (2,3 or 4)
\rightarrow Once we have chosen one digit for the hundreds place, we have 2 remaining choices for the tens place.
\rightarrow After choosing digits for the hundreds and tens places, only 1 digit remains for the unit’s place.
\therefore We can form \left(3\times2\times1\right)=6 possible numbers.
So that, these numbers are : 234, 243, 324, 342, 423 and 432.
\therefore Their sum is : (234+243+324+342+423+432)
\rightarrow 1998
Ans: The sum of all three digits numbers formed with the digits 2, 3 and 4, without repeating any digit, is 1998.
