Hi ,
I am getting confused here.
If we are to take each digit different and increase from left to right ,
Case 1 from 4000 to 4999
_ _ _ _
1000 place -1 possible value(4)
100 place-5 possible values (5,6,7,8,9)
10 place-4 possible values (6,7,8,9)
1 place-3 possible values (7,8,9)
Total-5*4*3=60
Case 2 from 5000 to 5999
_ _ _ _
1000 place -1 possible value(5)
100 place-4 possible values (6,7,8,9)
10 place-3 possible values (7,8,9)
1 place-2 possible values (8,9)
Total-4*3*2-24
Case 3 from 6000 to 6999
_ _ _ _
1000 place -1 possible value(6)
100 place-3 possible values (7,8,9)
10 place-2 possible values (8,9)
1 place-1 possible value(9)
Total-3*2*1=6

Case1+case 2+ case 3=60+24+6=90

Please correct me if I went wrong somewhere

You are not correct in the calculations above.
When you take 9 in 100s place, there is no value left for tens or ones. No digit greater than 9.
4 9 _ _
No greater value than 4789 is possible.

How many integers between 4000 and 7000 have digits that are all different and that increase from left to right?


A. 10
B. 12
C. 14
D. 15
E. 16


We can distribute these as per the digit in thousands place.
1) 4000 - 4999
First digit is 4, and remaining three can be chosen from 5 to 9 in 5C3 or 10 ways.
2) 5000 - 5999
First digit is 5, and remaining three can be chosen from 6 to 9 in 4C3 or 4 ways.
3) 6000 - 6999
First digit is 6, and remaining three can be chosen in only one way, 789.

Total 10+4+1 = 15 ways.


D

If we check manually i get only 6 ways.

4000-4999

4567
4678
4789

5000-5999

5678
5789

6000-6999

6789

Not sure if this correct , please assist.
