5 digits can be placed with 10 numebrs ( 0,1,2,...9)
total possible digits = 100000

If 5 is immediately followed after 9 then total digits would be
10 * 10*10 *(9 ) (5)
(9)(5) can be at 1st digit, 2nd ,3rd or 4th
so total values in whih 95 together: 4*1000


without 5 followed after 9
= 10^5- 4000

96000- final answer (A)

A locker code consists of five digits, for example 04391, 23335, 05531... David wants to set his locker code so that digit 5 is not immediately followed by the digit 9. How many such codes are possible?

E. 96,004

Since as per stated examples we can deduce that we can repeat the digits in 5 digit locker code

so for 5 position we have 10^5 options or 100,000

Now lets see codes with 95 together
95--- = 10^3
and since we can use 95 to 4 location in 5 digit locker code (95---,-95--,--95-,---95) total number of combination with 95 would be
4*10^3

so total number of locker code with no digit 5 followed by digit 9 =
10^5 - 4*10^3
=10^3(10^2-4)
= 96000

IMO A

5 digit code = 10^5
That 5 follows 9 we have [(10^3)*1]*4
Subtracting from 10^5. We get A

First of all, let's consider the total no: of 5-digit codes that can be formed : P1 P2 P3 P4 P5 are the positions of the code.

P1 can be taken by any of the 10 digits from 0 to 9, since 0 is also allowed in P1.

Similarly P2, P3, P4, & P5 can also be taken by any of the 10 digits, since repetition of digits is allowed.

So, the total no: of 5-digit codes that can be formed is 10x10x10x10x10 = 10^5

Since David wants to set his locker code so that digit 5 is not immediately followed by the digit 9, let's remove all such codes, in which 5 is immediately followed by 9, from the total.

When 5 takes P1 & 9 takes P2, the remaining positions : P3,P4, & P5: can be taken by any of the 10 digits i.e. 10x10x10 = 10^3 codes

Similarly, When 5 takes P2 & 9 takes P3, we get 10 ^ 3 codes

When 5 takes P3 & 9 takes P4, we get 10 ^ 3 codes

When 5 takes P4 & 9 takes P5, we get 10 ^ 3 codes

So, the total no: of codes in which 5 is immediately followed by 9 = 4 * 10^3
= 4000

Since David wants to exclude all such codes : (Total no: of codes) - (no: of codes in which 5 is immediately followed by 9 )

=> 10^5 - 4000

=> 96000

Hence, A is the answer

A locker code consists of five digits, for example 04391, 23335, 05531... David wants to set his locker code so that digit 5 is not immediately followed by the digit 9. How many such codes are possible?

A. 96,000
B. 96,001
C. 96,002
D. 96,003
E. 96,004

Total combinations: \(10^5\)
Number of Combinations in which 9 follows 5: \(4* 10^3\)
Required number of combinations: \(10^5 - 4* 10^3\)
96000
Answer A

Total number of possible combinations = \(10*10*10*10*10 = 10^5\)

Possible combinations for 9 being followed by 5 -
95xxx - \(10*10*10 = 10^3\)
x95xx - \(10*10*10 = 10^3\)
xx95x - \(10*10*10 = 10^3\)
xxx95 - \(10*10*10 = 10^3\)

Total Combinations Possible as per the question = \(10^5 - 4*10^3 = 96000\)

A

Total possibilities minus possibilities in which 59 are together in same order

Total possibilities are 10^5
Possibilities when 5 and 9 are together are 4C1 * 10^3

Solving we get 96000

The total number of possible codes is for a five digit number is - 10^5


9 and 5 should be together - so total number of possible codes is 4×10^3.

Hence answer is 10^5-4×10^3 = 96,000

_ _ _ _ _
Total possibility = 10^5

(9,5) _ _ _
Possibility = 4C1 *10*10*10 = 4000
Required possibilities = 10^5 - 4000 = 96000
Hence A

Given: If locker code consists of five digits, for example 04391, 23335, 05531... David wants to set his locker code so that digit 5 is not immediately followed by the digit 9.

Asked: How many such codes are possible?

Total codes consisting of 5 digits =10^5 =100000
Codes consisting of the sequence 59 = 10^3×4=4000
Since there are 10^3 ways to choose remaining 3 digits and 4 ways in which location of 59 may be chosen.

Total codes in which 5 is not immedately followed by 9 = 10000-4900 = 96000

IMO A

since numbers can be repeated all cases will be \(10*10*10*10*10=10^5\)
cases where 5 is followed by 9 will be \(4*10^3=4000\)
\(5,9,10,10,10~10^3\)
\(10,5,9,10,10~10^3\)
\(10,10,5,9,10~10^3\)
\(10,10,10,5,9,~10^3\)

\(10^5-4000=96000\\
\)

I am confused with number of cases I am getting in this question. Please help how to solve in a shorter way

First of all, total number of codes is 10^5
Now we will take [59] as one single number.
[59]XXX it has 1C4 different arrangement, which is 4. The other 3 digits can have 10^3 values
Thus 10^5-4*10^3=10000-4000=9600
The answer is A

Suppose that 5 follows 9
59_ _ _
_ 59_ _
_ _ 59_
_ _ _59
These will be the possibility that is 10 possible way of writing first _
So 10*10*10=1000*4 for four option ie 4000
Total possiblity is 10*10*10*10*10=100000-4000=96000 possibility

A. 96,000
B. 96,001
C. 96,002
D. 96,003
E. 96,004

Here we should try to find cases where 5 comes exactly after 9. That will be 4000 such cases. Total sample 100000 possibilities minus 4000 is 96000 possibilities.

So option A is the correct answer.

Howdy -- Need to take 10^5 total possibilities and then figure out the number of possibilities that do not fit this. From here, we know that B is the correct answer.
