License plates for private cars and PUVs have 3 letters followed by 4 numbers, while those for private motorcycles have 2 letters followed by 5 numbers. If the same letter or number can be repeated, how many can be made?
-------------------
3 letters followed by 4 numbers
Assuming 0000 is allowed, and no lower case letters:
--> 26*26*26*10*10*10*10
= 175,760,000
