s ( n ) = k , s ( k ) = 2 , k { 20 , 11 , 2 } s(n) =k, s(k) = 2, k \in \{ 20, 11, 2\}

I ) s ( n ) = 20 = k , I) s(n) = 20 = k ,

If The Number n's digits have No Order, we can select these elements.

{ 992 , 983 , 974 , 965 , 884 , 875 , 866 , 776 } \{992, 983, 974, 965, 884, 875, 866, 776 \}

so, 3 ! × 4 + \sideset 3 2 C × 4 = 36 3! \times 4 + \sideset{_3}{_2}C\ \times 4 = 36

I I ) s ( n ) = 11 = k , II) s(n) = 11 = k ,

{ 119 , 128 , 137 , 146 , 155 , 227 , 236 , 245 , 335 , 344 } \{119, 128, 137, 146, 155, 227, 236, 245, 335, 344 \} and { 920 , 380 , 470 , 560 } \{920, 380, 470, 560\}

3 ! × 5 + \sideset 3 2 C × 5 + 4 × 2 × 2 = 45 + 16 3! \times 5 + \sideset{_3}{_2}C\ \times 5 + 4\times2\times2 = 45 + 16 = 61 =61

I I I ) s ( n ) = 2 = k , III) s(n) = 2 = k ,

{ 20 , 11 , 2 } \{20, 11, 2 \}

3 3

Now, we can get 36 + 61 + 3 = 100 36 + 61 + 3 = 100

This was a question from RMO 2014......the only question which I got correct :P
