Solution

The given digits are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

A two digit number has unit place and 10’s place.

We are given 5 digits (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).

The unit place can be filled (using the 5 digits) in 5 ways.

After filling the unit place since repetition is not allowed one number (filled in the unit place) should be excluded.

So the 10’s place can be filled (using the remaining 4 digits) in 4 ways

∴ Unit place and 10’s place together can be filled in 5 × 4 = 20 ways.

So the number of two-digit numbers = 20
