Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • A number between 5000 and 10,000 can have any of the digits 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 at thousand’s place. So thousand’s place can be filled in 5 ways. Remaining 3 places can be filled by the remaining 8 digits in $ ^{8}P_3 $ ways. Hence required number = $ 5{{\times }^{8}}P_3 $ .
