Number on license plates are of the form LLLDD, where L represents a letter and D represents a digit.
As L can be anything from A to Z, there are 26 combinations for that and as repetition is allowed,
for second and third letters, we again have 26 combinations available and thus 26 × 26 × 26 = 17576 combinations for letters.
But digits are from 0 to 9 i.e. 10 combinations for each place and tolal 10 × 10 = 100 combinations.
Hence for LLLDD, we have 1 , 757 , 600 combinations available for license plates.
