Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • The total number of 4 digits are $ 9999-999=9000 $ . The numbers of 4 digits number divisible by 5 are $ 90\times 20=1800 $ . Hence required number of ways are $ 9000-1800=7200 $ . {Since there are 20 numbers in each hundred (1 to 100) divisible by 5 and from 999 to 9999 there are 90 hundreds, hence the results}.
