How many 4 digit numbers less than 7000 can be formed such that the number is odd

374375372250

Answer : A

Solution : Using the digits 0, 1, 3, 7, 9
number of one digit natural numbers that can be formed = 4,
number of two digit natural numbers that can be formed = 20,

How many 4 digit numbers less than 7000 can be formed such that the number is odd

(`because 0` can not come in 1st box)
number of three digit natural numbers that can be formed = 100
How many 4 digit numbers less than 7000 can be formed such that the number is odd

and number of four digit natural numbers less than 7000, that can be formed = 250
How many 4 digit numbers less than 7000 can be formed such that the number is odd

(`because` only 1 or 3 can come in 1st box)
`therefore` Total number of natural numbers formed
= 4 + 20 + 100 + 250 = 374

2,4,6,7,8,9

We choose the fourth digit first:  There are 2 ways to select the fourth
digit, either 7 or 9, so that the number will be odd.

Next we choose the first digit: There are 2 ways to select the fourth
digit, either 2 or 4, so that the number will be less than 6000.

Next we choose the second digit: There are 4 ways to select the second
digit, any of the four remaining digits.


Finally we choose the third digit: There are 3 ways to select the second
digit as any of the three remaining digits.

So the number of such four-digit numbers is 2*2*4*3=48

Here they all are:

2467  2469  2479  2487  2489  2497
2647  2649  2679  2687  2689  2697
2749  2769  2789  2847  2849  2867
2869  2879  2897  2947  2967  2987
4267  4269  4279  4287  4289  4297
4627  4629  4679  4687  4689  4697
4729  4769  4789  4827  4829  4867
4869  4879  4897  4927  4967  4987

Solution

The correct option is C 374Natural numbers less than 7,000, means first number can not be greater than 6. There are four positions to fill. ∴ There are 3 ways to fill the first position and there are 5 ways to fill the remaining positions. Hence, required number =3×5×5×5−1(∵0000 is not included) =374

How many 4

Here, the required numbers are greater than 7000. Therefore, the thousand's place can be filled with any of the 3 digits: 7, 8, 9. Thus, the total number of possible outcomes is 3C1 × 4C1 × 3C1 × 2C1 = 3 × 4 × 3 × 2 = 72.

How many four digit odd numbers less than 6000 can be formed using?

144 four-digit odd numbers less than 6000 can be formed using the digits given.

How many 4

So overall there are 3×5×4×3=180 numbers.

How many 4

The thousands place in a 4-digit number cannot be 0. The smallest 4-digit number is 1000 and the greatest 4-digit number is 9999. There are 9000 four-digit numbers in all.
