Compute the sum of 4 digit numbers which can be formed with the four digits 1,3,5,7, if each digit is used only once in each arrangement.

Correct Answer: 106656

Explanation:

The number of arrangements of 4 different digits taken 4 at a time is given by  4 P 4  = 4! = 24.All the four digits will occur equal number of times at each of the position,namely ones,tens,hundreds,thousands.


 


 


 


Thus,each digit will occur 24/4 = 6 times in each of the position.The sum of digits in one's position will be 6 x (1+3+5+7) = 96.Similar is the case in ten's,hundred's and thousand's places.


 


 


 


Therefore,the sum will be 96 + 96 x 10 + 96 x 100 + 96 x 100 = 106656
