How many (2)-letter codes can be formed from (P,Q,R,S,T,U) without repetition?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (30)

There are 6 available letters: P, Q, R, S, T, and U. A two-letter code is formed without repetition, so the first position has 6 choices. Once that letter is used, only 5 letters remain for the second position. By the multiplication principle, the number of codes is \\(6\times5=30\\), which is \\({}^{6}P_2\\). Therefore option B is correct.

Order matters for codes: PQ and QP are different codes. That is why combinations, which would count only selections and give 15, are not appropriate. The phrase “without repetition” prevents choices such as PP, and ensures the second position has five rather than six choices. Hence the total number of valid two-letter codes is 30.
