Answer

2520 strings

Work Step by Step

Total Number of arrangements of n objects if all are different = n! If r! of them are same number of ways are given by $\frac{n!}{r!}$ because if the element that is repeated is exchanged with the similar element at some other position, it does not create a new outcome. In our case we have two $0s$, three $1s$, five $2s$ and the string length is 10 So $\frac{10!}{2!.3!.5!}$ = 2520 strings
