Victor Monroe · Answer 1

2177280 serial numbers can be formed.

For the first part, we can have

9 (8) (7) (6) = 3024 possibilities. This is because there are no repeats; we can have 9 for the first letter, 8 for the second, and so on.

For the numeric part, we can have

10 (9) (8) = 720 possibilities. This is because there are no repeats; we can have 10 for the first number, 9 for the second, and so on.

Together, this gives us 3024 (720) = 2177280.
