Sum Of The Numbers Formed By N-Digits

Sum Of The Numbers Formed By N-Digits : Permutation helps in finding sum of numbers formed by n digits this could be categorized in two cases one is without repetition and second is with repetition.

Sum Of The Numbers Formed By N-Digits Case 1:

When repetition is not allowed

Let we have to form numbers with the help of digits 1, 2, 3 Now by permutation of total numbers possible would be

123, 132, 213, 231, 312, 321

At unit place as we could see each number appears two times such as 2 in (312, 132) this is because other two position has 2! arrangements possible, so if there are n places available apart of unit place than unit place will occur n! times same is allowed for other places too, such as 1 in 100 th place (123, 132) Now each place sum could be written as 2! (2+3+1) and if multiply these sums with their corresponding place values and add all than obtained result would be the sum of all digits possible such as sum of  (123, 132, 213, 231, 312, 321) is 1332 manually. Now by logic we can write 2! (2+3+1) + 2! (2+3+1) 2! (2+3+1)

Now above logic could be generalized for n numbers as

Sum Of The Numbers Formed By N-Digits Case 2:

When repetition is allowed

Let we have to form numbers with the help of digits 1, 2, 3 Now by permutation with repetition total numbers possible would be 123, 132, 213, 231, 312, 321,112, 113, 211, 311, 121, 131, 221, 223, 122, 322, 212, 232, 332, 331, 233, 133, 323, 313, 111, 222, 333

At unit place as we could see each number appears nine times such as 3 in (123, 213, 113, 223, 233, 133, 323, 313, 333) this is because other two position has arrangements possible, so if there are n places available apart of unit place and available digits are m than unit place will occur times same is allowed for other places too, such as 1 in 100 th place of  (123, 132, 112, 113, 121, 131, 122, 133, 111)

Now each place sum could be written as (2+3+1) and if multiply these sums with their corresponding place values and add all than obtained result would be the sum of all digits possible such as sum of  (123, 132, 213, 231, 312, 321,112, 113, 211, 311, 121, 131, 221, 223, 122, 322, 212, 232, 332, 331, 233, 133, 323, 313, 111, 222, 333) is 5994 manually Now by logic we can write (2+3+1) + (2+3+1) (2+3+1)

Now above logic could be generalized for n digit number with n places as

Sum Of The Numbers Formed By N-Digits Introduction

As we have discussed formula for sum of digits in two cases repetition of digits allowed and repetition of digits not allowed let’s explore it with examples.

Sum Of The Numbers Formed By N-Digits Example 1

Solution: Available digits are (5, 6, 7), sum of n digits with repetition is

Take n =3,

Sum Of The Numbers Formed By N-Digits Example 3

Q. Find sum of all three-digit number possible from 1,2,3,4 repetition is not allowed?

Solution: Three-digit number possible out of (1, 2, 3, 4) are as (1, 2, 3), (1, 2, 4), (1, 3, 4), (2, 3, 4)

By using formula

Sum of all numbers from (1, 2, 3) would be

Sum of all numbers from (1, 2, 4) would be

Sum of all numbers from (1, 3, 4) would be

Sum of all numbers from (2, 3, 4) would be

Total sum is +

Sum of the Numbers Formed by n-Digits FAQs

Q.1: Permutation of object is same as selection of objects?

Ans.    No, permutation of objects means selection and arrangement. 

Q.2 : Combination of objects does not need arrangement?

Ans.    Yes, combination of objects means selection only. 

Q.3: Permutation and combination are not based on fundamental rule of counting?

Ans.    No, it is based on fundamental rule of counting.

Q4: Fundamental rule of multiplication is applied if events are independent?

Ans.    Yes, it is applied if all subtasks or events are independent.
