Q:
How many integers, greater than 999 but not greater than 4000, can be formed with the digits 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4, if repetition of digits is allowed?
Answer & Explanation
Answer: A) 376
Explanation: The smallest number in the series is 1000, a 4-digit number.
The largest number in the series is 4000, the only 4-digit number to start with 4.
The left most digit (thousands place) of each of the 4 digit numbers other than 4000 can take one of the 3 values 1 or 2 or 3.
The next 3 digits (hundreds, tens and units place) can take any of the 5 values 0 or 1 or 2 or 3 or 4.
Hence, there are 3 x 5 x 5 x 5 or 375 numbers from 1000 to 3999.
Including 4000, there will be 376 such numbers.
