Problem

How many 6-letter words can be formed using the letters A,B and C so that each letter appears at least once in the word.

Solution:

Number of ways 6 letter words can be formed using letters A,B,C so that each letter appears at least once in the word = Number of ways 6 letter word formed using A,B,C - Number of ways 6 letter word formed using any two of A,B,C + Number of 6 letter words formed by using A,B,C. [ using inclusion exclusion principle. ]

= $ {3^6} $ - $ {{3}\choose{2}}{2^6} $ + $ {{3}\choose{1}}{1^6} $

= 555 [ans]
