Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • There can be two types of numbers: (i) Any one of the digits 1, 2, 3, 4 repeats thrice and the remaining digits only once $ i.e. $ of the type 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4 etc. (ii) Any two of the digits 1, 2, 3, 4 repeat twice and the remaining two only once $ i.e. $ of the type 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4 etc. Now number of numbers of the (i) type $ =\frac{6\ !}{3\ !}{{\times }^{4}}C_1=480 $ Number of numbers of the (ii) type $ =\frac{6\ !}{2\ !\ 2\ !}{{\times }^{4}}C_2=1080 $ Therefore the required number of numbers $ =480+1080=1560 $ .
