One easy way to solve this: sum of a list of N terms is : N/2 * (N1(first term of list) + Nn(last term of the list))

1234 is first term, 4321 is the last term. N=24, they have given us most kindly.

Put in formula, do some quick maths, get answer: 66660.

24 total integers and 4 possible digits, this means that:

- for the last units and tens digits, 1;2;3;4 are going to be repeated exactly 24/4 =6 times: (1*6)+(2*6)+(3*6)+(4*6) = 60

The only number with the last digits of 60 is 66,660.

Here is my approach:

We know that we are given 24 different integers. To find the sum of all integers, we can use the formula of the number of integers in the set and the mean number of the set.

Mean = (highest number + lowest number) / 2 = (4321+1234) / 2 = 2777.5

Sum of the integers = Mean x numbers in the set = 2777.5 x 24 = 66 660

The addition problem above shows four of the 24 different integers that can be formed by using each of the digits 1,2,3,4 exact;y once in each integer. What is the sum of these 24 integers?

A. 24,000
B. 26,664
C. 40,440
D. 60,000
E. 66,660


PS78602.01

Easiest way to solve this question is 1,2,3,4 can arranged in 4! way which is 24, so each number will come 6 times,
now just add like that

Unit Digit - (1+2+3+4) * 6
Tens Digit - (1+2+3+4) * 6 * 10
Hundred - (1+2+3+4) * 6 *100
Thousand - (1+2+3+4) * 6 * 1000

Total 66660

I Took the first number and last number average and multiplied it by the number of terms.

(1234+4321)/2 * 24 = 66660

Since there are 24 numbers, using basic PnC or patterns we know that every number in each position (units, tens, hundreds, thousands) repeats the same number of times, since repetition isnt allowed. So in Units place 1 appears 6 times.. 2 appears 6 times.. 3 appears 6 times..4 appears 6 times..

Sum in the units place would be: 6(1+2+3+4) = 60

Same for tens, except the value would be multiplied with 10, 6 x 10 (1+2+3+4) = 600

For hundreds, 6 x 100 (1+2+3+4) = 6000

For thousands, 6 x 1000 (1+2+3+4) = 60000

Total would be 66660

The method I used for the problem was:

1) Find the Average
(Low+High)/2 --> (1234+4321)/2 --> 2777.5 (long division)

2) Average * Qty = sum

Qty is given as 24.

So ---> Long multiplication (2777.5)(24) = 66,660

Hope that helps :)

I use approach, because there 24 digits and 1000+, 2000+, 3000+, 4000+. So it has 6 numbers for each thousand.

So (1000+2000+3000+4000) *6 = 10.000 * 6 = 60.000++

because I use min. for each thousand, so the result should be above 60k+, which is 66.660

This question can be solved by guesstimate.
1234 as per question can be arranged as 24 different integers with each digit once in the number. This means that we will have six integers with one digit in front, example
1234,1243,1324,1342,1423,1432,
2134,2143,2341,2314,2431,2413 and same for 3xxx and 4xxx integers.

If all the first digits are added for each number (1x6)+(2x6)+(3x6)+(4x6)=60.
As this the raw addition, but the digit being at 1000s place, there will be carry overs so the actual sum will be definitely higher than 60000 and which is option D.

Easiest way would be to caculate the average 2777.5 and do 2777.5*24 = 66660 !

Each number will appear in each digit place the same number of times.
Each digit will appear in each place 6 times.
For example:
4321 ~> FCP ~> 1*3*2*1 = 6 ways to have 4 in 1st place
3421 ~> FCP ~> 3*1*2*1 = 6 ways to have 4 in 2nd place
3241 ~> FCP ~> 3*2*1*1 = 6 ways to have 4 in 3rd place
3214 ~> FCP ~> 3*2*1*1 = 6 ways to have 4 in 4th place

Since each number can be in each position 6 times, we can calculate the sum easily.

If number abcd = 1000a + 100b + 10c + d
We similarly can do:
1000(4+3+2+1)(6) + 100(4+3+2+1)(6) + 10(4+3+2+1)(6) + 1(4+3+2+1)(6)

(4+3+2+1)(6)(1000+100+10+1) = (10)(6)(1111) = 66,660
