it is solved ..still..

This is a solved question in my book. But i did'nt understand it. I have written the solution also here .. so pls help me in this especially in the underlined part ...
Question:-

How many 3-digit numbers can be formed by using the digits 3,4,5 and 6 without repetitions? How many of these are even?

Solution:- 1)
There are 4 digits 3,4,5 and 6
Number of 3 digit numbers =

                                        =4× 3 ×2
                                                   = 24 

2nd part of the question

         boxes:-                        H         T         U
                                          2ways  3 ways  2 ways
2)

Consider 3 -blank boxes
Step 1) First fill up the units place.This place can be filled by any one of the digits 4 or 6 in 2 ways.

Step2) After filling this place, three digits are left out. So the tens place can be filled in 3 ways.

Step3)Similiarly, the hundreds place can be filled in the remaining 2 digits in 2 ways.
By the fundamental principle,all the 3 places can be filled in 2× 3× 2 =12 ways

2)

how did they get 2 ways ,3 ways, 2 ways?

Re: it is solved ..still..

2 even digits on the right they wanted which are 4 or 6 digits.
Then that leaves 3 ways because of 3 digits to pick from, either
3,4,5 or 3,5,6 if 4 was used.  Then after that, there are only
2 digits left over to pick from for the leftmost digit because
there was just 3 left over before picking the middle one.
That's the gist of it anyway.

Re: it is solved ..still..

The way I would have done the original problem is:
We have 4 numbers that we wish to arrange in a number without repetitions. So we have 4x3x2=24 ways to do this. To count the number of even numbers, we must deal with the restrictions first. So we have 2 ways to have the units place, 3 ways to have the tens place, and 2 ways to have the hundreds place. Therefore, we have 3x2x2=12 ways to arrange the number so that it is even.
Does this make sense?

Because there are four digits available.


Actually I never watch Star Wars and not interested in it anyway, but I choose a Yoda card as my avatar in honor of our great friend bobbym who has passed away.
May his adventurous soul rest in peace at heaven.
