So only 24/2=12 arrangements are distinct• Count arrangements of AABB 12/2=63iii) with/without repetitions • How many distinct 3-letter passwords exist?

The logical statement [(p q) r] (q ? r) is equivalent to [(p q) r]. Given this information, there are 2 possible truth tables for the boolean logical operator ?.
