Best answer

Let five digit A, B, C, D, E then A + B + C + D + E = 7

given n = 7, r = 5 we know that

n + r – 1 C  r - 1  = 7+5 -1 C 5-1 = 11 C 4 = 11x 10x9x8/1x2x3x4 =330

If A is 0 then it won't be 5 digit string.So, we consider this too..

Tell me if I am wrong..

THere are 7 stars and 4 bars. (7+4)C4==330
