You mean permutations (or rather combination without repitition). Think how many times each letter can be in a different order, it could be catastrophic.

2 increasing and decreasing. Unless you really meant Permutation .

I could be wrong, but I believe there is a function in Excel that can tell you? Permut?

Combination without repetition can be found by descending multiplication of natural numbers, i.e. factorial 10! = 3 628 800 which is clearly not a power of ten and is not within the provided answers.
