Let 5 digit numbers be constructed using the digits 0,2,3,4,7,9 with repetition allowed, and are arranged in ascending order with serial numbers. Then the serial number of the number 42923 is _____ .

Solution

Number of five-digit numbers formed using the digits 0, 2, 3, 4, 7, 9 with 2 at the first place is

=6×6×6×6=1296

Since, 2+6+6+6+6=1296

Number of five-digit numbers formed using the given digits with 3 at the first place is

=1296

Since, 3+6+6+6+6=1296

Number of five-digit numbers formed using the given digits with  40 at the first place is

=216

Since, 40+6+6+6=216

And,

420+6+6=36

4 2 2+6+6=36

423+6+6=36

424+6+6=36

427+6+6=36

429 0+6=6

429 2 0=1

429 2 2=1

429 2 3=1

Required serial number is

=1296×2+216+5×36+6+1+1+1=2997
