Approach: Since numbers are not to be repeated, we have to reduce one number when filling next digit. Also, since this is a code/pin, 0 can be included in first starting digit.

Let code be = _ _ _ _

_ _ are to be filled with 2 even digits hence from 0,2,4,6,8 these places can be filled in 5*4 = 20 ways
_ _ are to be filled with 2 odd digits hence from 1,3,5,7,9 these places can be filled in 5*4 = 20 ways

Since for a code, both these combinations are needed simultaneously so they have to be multiplied.

Total number of combinations = 20*20 = 400

Correct answer is C.
