Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

  • [c] The number of numbers with 0 in the units place $ =3!=6 $ The number of numbers with 1 or 2 or 3 in the units place $ =3!-2!=4 $

$ \therefore $ The sum of the digits in the unit place $ =6\times 0+4\times 1+4\times 2+4\times 3=24 $ Similarly for the tens and the hundreds places. The number of numbers with 1 or 2 or 3 in the thousands place =3!
$ \therefore $ The sum of the digits in the thousands place $ =6\times 1+6\times 2+6\times 3=36 $

$ \therefore $ The required sum $ =36\times 100+24\times 100+24\times 10+24=38664 $
