the first digit can be selected in 9 ways
next in 8 ways and so on
therefore total ways = 9*8*7*6*5*4

Once you pick six different digits, there is only one way to arrange them so that the digits are increasing. I would view the answer as 9C6, but of course this is equal to 9C3 

nCr = nC(n-r) 
9C6 = 9C3 = 84
