Solution
Number of ways of selecting the first letter = 6
Number of ways of selecting the second letter = 5
(as repetition of letters is not allowed)
Number of ways of selecting the digit in the third place = 10
Number of ways of selecting the digit in the fourth place = 9
(as repetition of digits is not allowed)
Number of ways of selecting the digit in the fifth place = 8
Number of ways of selecting the digit in the sixth place = 7
Possible serial numbers=`6xx5xx10xx9xx8xx7=151200`
