Find the sum of four-digit numbers that can be formed using the digits 0,2,4,7,8 without repetition.
Solution
The question calls for the answer to be without repetition, so we need to solve the sum in that way always reducing the numbers as we go on multiplying.
Complete step-by-step answer:
The number of 4− digit numbers formed by using 0,2,4,7,8 without repetition 5P4−4P3=120−24=96
Out of these 96 numbers,
=545958 numbers contain 2 in units place.
4P3−3P2 numbers contain 2 in tens place.
4P3−3P2 numbers contain 2 in hundreds place.
4P numbers contain 2 in units place.
∴ The values obtained by adding 2 in all numbers.
=4P3(2+20+200+2000)−3P2(2+20+200)
=24×2222−6×222
=24×2×1111−6×2×111
Similarly, the value obtained by adding 4 is 24×4×1111−6×4×111.
The value obtained by adding 7 is 24×7×1111−6×7×111
The value obtained by adding 8 is 24×8×1111−6×8×111
Therefore,
The sum of all numbers
=(24×2×1111−6×2×111)+(24×4×1111−6×4×111)+(24×7×1111−6×7×111)+(24×8×1111−6×8×111)
=24×1111×(2+4+7+8)−6×111×(2+4+7+8)
=26664×21−666×21
=559944−13986
=545958
Therefore, this is the answer after solving the sum using permutation and combination formulas.
Note: A permutation of an arrangement of its members into a sequence or linear order, or if the set is already ordered, a rearrangement of its elements. The word "permutation" also refers to the act or process of changing the linear order of an ordered set. Before, solving the sum a student needs to understand the meaning of the word permutation and how to solve them.
