Each code number was formed from the digits
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
and no digit appears more than once in any one code number. How many unassigned
code numbers are there?

A. 6
B. 58
C. 174

To make a code number, we have 8 choices for the first digit, 7 choices for the second digit, and 6 choices for the third digit (subtracting one each time, since we cannot use the same digit more than once), and therefore 8*7*6 = 336 code numbers are possible in total (we just need to multiply the number of choices we have for each digit to find how many code numbers can be made). Since 330 code numbers have been used already, there are 336-330 = 6 unused code numbers.

Total number of codes that can be formed = 8*7*6 =336
Therefore, Number left unused = 336 - 330 = 6
