Quantitative Aptitude Question on Permutations and Combinations
The sum of all four-digit numbers that can be formed with the distinct non-zero digits a, b, c, and d, with each digit appearing exactly once in every number, is 153310+n, where n is a single digit natural number. Then, the value of (a+b+c+d) is ?
There are 24 distinct four-digit numbers that can be formed with the digits a, b, c, and d (since there are 4!=24 possible permutations). The sum of all these numbers is:
24×(a+b+c+d)×1111.
We are given that this sum is 153310+n, where n is a single digit. By equating, we have:
24×(a+b+c+d)×1111=153310+n.
From this equation, solve for a+b+c+d+n.
