Re: Find the sum of 4 digit numbers [#permalink]

Here is the short cut :

4 digit number is in the form of abcd
total number formed by different 4 digit numbers = 4! = 24
This 24 numbers are formed in which one of the four digits, say a, take all four positions.
So, a takes unit position > 6 nos.
a takes tens position > 6 nos.
a takes hundreds position > 6 nos.
a takes thousands position > 6 nos.

This mean number all the four numbers takes unit position 6 numbers, tens - 6 numbers, hundreds - 6 numbers and thousands - 6 numbers.

so, sum of thousands position = ((1+2+5+6)*6)* 1000 = 84000
sum of hundreds position = ((1+2+5+6)*6)* 100 = 8400
sum of tens position = ((1+2+5+6)*6)* 10 = 840
sum of unit position = ((1+2+5+6)*6) = 84
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total = 93324



Yes This is a simpler way to solve this.. nice job :)
