Explanation:
First you need to understand the process of selection and arrangement.
Suppose you have 4 numbers - 1, 2, 3, 4 and you have to form 3 digit numbers with all these numbers atmost once (For example 111 is not permitted). How would you do so?
So first step, we have to SELECT 3 numbers from this pile.
We can either choose 1,2,3 or 1,2,4 or 2,3,4 and so on. But how do you definitively know the selections. Here comes in the concept of combinations
