you have 7 positions . first two for alphabets right ,since each plates are different you have to solve this problem as for a non repetitive case .. are you OK this far

$$\ \large \text{ This is a problem involving permuations...}$$ $$\ \large \text{So the first two places of the plate are letters.There are 26 letters.}$$ $$\ \large \text{So the first place could have} \frac{1}{26} \text{letters}$$.

So there are a possible 26 letters for the first digit, right?

12. anonymous

Are you allowed to repeat the same number/letter?

13. anonymous

For the letters, You can have 26^2 = 676 ways of arranging. For numbers, You can have 10^5 = 10000 ways Multiply them and you get 676 00000
