The answer will depend on how many digits there are in each of the 30 numbers. If the 30 numbers are all 6-digit numbers then the answer is NONE! If the 30 numbers are the first 30 counting numbers then there are 126 combinations of five 1-digit numbers, 1764 combinations of three 1-digit numbers and one 2-digit number, and 1710 combinations of one 1-digit number and two 2-digit numbers. That makes a total of 3600 5-digit combinations.
The short answer is 1000. This is very easy to visualise: Simply consider each number in the combination to be a digit in a decimal number. We then end up with a three-digit number. Such a three-digit number ranges in value from 000 to 999, or 1000 unique combinations.
The order of the digits in a combination does not matter. So 123 is the same as 132 or 312 etc. There are 10 combinations using just one of the digits (3 times). There are 90 combinations using 2 digits (1 once and 1 twice). There are 120 combinations using three different digit. 220 in all.
There are 28706 such combinations. 5456 of these comprise three 2-digit numbers, 19008 comprise two 2-digit numbers and two 1-digit numbers, 4158 comprise one 2-digit number and four 1-digit numbers and 84 comprise six 1-digit numbers.
48 of them if digits may not be repeated. 100 if they can.
