= 26^4 + 26^5

= 26^4 x (1+26)

= 27x 26^4

yes, the answer is C.

four letters code: 26^4
five letters code: 26^5

26^4+26^5=26^4*(1+26)=26^4*27

First of all!

54 minutes remaining when you are at 24th question! WOWW!! :twisted:

= 26^4 + 26^5

= 26^4 x (1+26)

= 27x 26^4

Yup answer should be C

Total number of 4 letter codes = 26*26*26*26 = 26^4
Total number of 5 letter codes = 26*26*26*26*26 = 26^5

Maximum number of different stocks = 26^5+26^4

26^4(26+1) = 26^4*27

In this argument, author assumes that people know the OA, if they are at 24th question when there is 54 minutes left :lol:

= 26^4 + 26^5

= 26^4 + 26 x 26^4 , lets call 26^4 as @

= @ + 26 @

= 27 @

= 27 26^4

Is it clear my friend ?
