    The digit in unit place is selected in 4! Ways
    The digit in tens place is selected in 4! Ways
    The digit in hundreds place is selected in 4! Ways
    The digit in thousands place is selected in 4! Ways
    The digit in ten thousands place is selected in 4! Ways
    Sum of all values for 1
    4! × 1 × (100 + 101 + 102 + 103 +104) = 4! × 11111 × 1
    Similarly for ‘3’ 4! × (11111) × 3
    Similarly for ‘5’ 4! × (11111) × 5
    Similarly for ‘7’ 4! × (11111) × 7
    Similarly for ‘9’ 4! × (11111) × 9
    ∴ sum of all such numbers
    4! × (11111)× (1+ 3 + 5 + 7 + 9)
    = 24 × (11111) × 25
    = 6666600
