1.
The 1st digit is "9". (1)
Out of the rest 9 digits, arrange 7 different digits to form the phone number.(9P7)

The no. of combinations
= 1 x 9P7
= 9!/2!
= 181440

=====
2.
There are 4 cards which are "J", and 48 cards which are not"J".

In the worse case, John at first draw all the 48 cards which are not"J", and 4 cards of "J" are left.
If so, the 49th card must be "J".

No. of cards at most he needs to draw to finish the game = 49

=====
3.
No. of matches in the 1st round = 32 ÷ 2 = 16
No. of matches in the 2nd round = 16 ÷ 2 = 8
No. of matches in the 3nd round = 8 ÷ 2 = 4
No. of matches in the 4nd round = 4 ÷ 2 = 2
No. of matches in the 5nd round (final) = 2 ÷ 2 = 1

Total no. of matches
= 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1
= 31

Alternative method :
In each match, a player is dumped out.
Apart from the final champion, all other 31 players are dumped out.
Total no. of matches = No. of players dumped out = 31
