Question Number 177633 by aurpeyz last updated on 07/Oct/22

A certain personal identity number (pin)  is a sequence of four digits where each digit  is selected from the digits 0 to 9. How many  such pins have at least two diffrent digits  and are palindromes. (Palindrome is a cha−  racter that reads the same forward and   backward e.g 1221)

it′s wrong sir.  the pins should be palindromes, i.e.  in form of abba. so we only need to  find how many numbers ab we can   get. it′s easy to see we have 90 such  numbers, namely:  ab=10, 11, 12, ..., 98, 99.   totally 90 numbers. so the answer is  90.  (it′s assumed that the numbers may   not begin with 0)

XXXX ⇒ 9 numbers (0000 excluded)  XYYX ⇒9×9=81 numbers (0YY0 excluded)  ⇒totally 9+81=90 pins

$${XXXX}\:\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{9}\:{numbers}\:\left(\mathrm{0000}\:{excluded}\right) \\ $$$${XYYX}\:\Rightarrow\mathrm{9}×\mathrm{9}=\mathrm{81}\:{numbers}\:\left(\mathrm{0}{YY}\mathrm{0}\:{excluded}\right) \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{totally}\:\mathrm{9}+\mathrm{81}=\mathrm{90}\:{pins} \\ $$
