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
= 6666600Correct Option: B

P (Ram) = 1/6; p(Ramesh) = 1/8 p(only at) = p (Ram) × p (not ramesh) + p(Ramesh) × p(n0 × Ram)
= 1 + 7 + 1 × 5 6 8 8 6 ⇒ 12 = 1 40 4 Correct Option: B
P (Ram) = 1/6; p(Ramesh) = 1/8 p(only at) = p (Ram) × p (not ramesh) + p(Ramesh) × p(n0 × Ram)
= 1 + 7 + 1 × 5 6 8 8 6 ⇒ 12 = 1 40 4
