    Total number of ways = 6*5 = 30

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We want to select two digits from the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. (without replacement)

    For the selection of 1st digit we have 6 choices so

    n₁ = 6

    For the selection of 2nd digit we have 5 choices since replacement is not allowed so

    n₂ = 5

    Therefore, the total number of ways are

    Total number of ways = n₁*n₂

    Total number of ways = 6*5

    Total number of ways = 30

    Note: here we are not considering the order which means (1,2) and (2,1) are considered different numbers.
