Solution
Number of distinct digit in a passcode of a mobile phone = 6
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
First digit can be tried in 10 ways using the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Second digit can be tried in 9 ways
Third digit can be tried in 8 ways
Fourth digit can be tried in 7 ways
Fifth digit can be tried in 6 ways
Sixth digit can be tried in 5 ways
Therefore, the maximum number of attempts made to retrieve the passcode = 10 × 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 = 151200
