An ordinary cubical dice having six face...

An ordinary cubical dice having six faces marked with alphabets A, B, C, D, E, and F is thrown `n` times and ht list of `n` alphabets showing p are noted. Find the total number of ways in which among the alphabets A, B, C D, E and F only three of them appear in the list.

Verified by Experts

Three letters from six letters can be selected in `""^(6)C_(3)` ways.
Consider one such set of letters {A,B,C}.
Now, if each throw of dice shows either letter A, B or C then number of cases is `3^(n)`.
But this includes those cases also in which exactly one letter or exactly two letters from A, B and C appear.
Number of cases in which exactly one letter appears in all throws is 3.
Number of cases in which exactly two letters appear (each at least once) is `""^(3)C_(2)(2^(n)-2)`.
So, required number of cases `=""^(6)C_(3)xx[3^(n)- ""^(3)C_(2)(2^(n)-2)-3]`
