1 in 10,000,000
There are 10 digits i.e. 0-9. First digit can be dialed in
10 ways. Second digit can be dialed in 10 ways. Third digit
can be dialed in 10 ways. And so on.....
Thus, 7-digit can be dialed in 10*10*10*10*10*10*10
(=10,000,000) ways. And, you have just one telephone number.
Hence, the possibility that you will dial your own number is
1 in 10,000,000.
Note that 0123456 may not be a valid 7-digit telephone
number. But while dialing in random order, that is one of
the possible 7-digit number which you may dial.

Answer / raju
Here is the answer :
Suitable condition are only 1.
Total conditions are 9 X 10 X 10 X 10 X 10 X 10 X 10 = 9000000.
I am taking the first digits as 9 because if phone number is
7 digit is cannot have ZERO at the start. so probablity is :
1 / 9000000

Answer / george prasanna
I agree with Raju...
the seven positions are
- - - - - - -
first position (1-9)=9 ways
second position (0-9)=10 waya
third position (0-9)=10 waya
fourth position (0-9)=10 waya
fifth position (0-9)=10 waya
sixth position (0-9)=10 waya
seventh position (0-9)=10 waya
so one in 9x10^6 ways
so probability is 1/9000000

Answer / vicky
possible numbers tat can be pressed r 0-9.totally ten.
but,we r going to have our telephone number as a 7digit....
overall probability is 10c7.
but,to select a number from 0 to 9 once,our required
probability is 10c1..we r gonna use it 7 times as they
didn't mention about the repetition of values.
so,the probability of choosing a number is 7times 10c1.
therefore,the answer might be
(7*10c1)/(10c7)
=70/120
=.583333333

Substitute digits for the letters to make the following subtraction problem true. S A N T A - C L A U S ----------------- X M A S Note that the leftmost letter can't be zero in any word. Also, there must be a one-to-one mapping between digits and letters. e.g. if you substitute 3 for the letter M, no other letter can be 3 and all other M in the puzzle must be 3.
