JEE MAIN - Mathematics (2002 - No. 46)

Number greater than 1000 but less than 4000 is formed using the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 (repetition allowed). Their number is :
125
105
374
625

Explanation

There are 3 possible ways that we can make number greater than 1000 but less than 4000 using the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 where repetition is allowed

Case 1 : First digit is 1 = 1 _ _ _

Possible numbers starting with 1 = 1$$ \times $$5$$ \times $$5$$ \times $$5 = 125

But this includes 1000 also which does not satisfy the given condition of being greater than 1000. Hence there will be 124 numbers having 1 in the first place.

Case 2 : First digit is 2 = 2 _ _ _

Possible numbers starting with 2 = 1$$ \times $$5$$ \times $$5$$ \times $$5 = 125

Case 3 : First digit is 3 = 3 _ _ _

Possible numbers starting with 3 = 1$$ \times $$5$$ \times $$5$$ \times $$5 = 125

Total possible numbers = 124 + 125 + 125 = 374
