Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

  • The number of 4 digits number that can be form from the digits

0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 so that the each number contains digit 1 is

Given that number is of 4 digits so the first digit can’t be 0.

Let (i) first digit is (1).(ii) first digit is not 1

(i) First digit is 1

We pick 3 digits in order out of the remaining 7.6.5=210 possibilities.

(ii) First digit is not 1

There are 6 ways to choose the first digit (2,3,4,5,6,7),

3 ways to place the digit 1 (hundreds, tens, ones)and 6.5 ways to choose the other digits

So 6.3.6.5=540 possibilities

∴ total possibilities are 210+540=750

750 possibilities to choose the number that to each number contains digit 1
