  Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
- There are 10 digits in all viz. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.  The   required 9 digit numbers = (Total number of 9 digit numbers including those numbers which have 0 at the first place) - (Total number of those 9 digit numbers which have 0 at the first place)  $ ={{}^{10}}P_9-{{}^{9}}P_8=\frac{10!}{1!}-\frac{9!}{1!}=10!-9! $  =  $ (10-1)9!=9.9! $ .
