JEE Advanced 2022 · Paper 1, Mathematics question 7

The number of 4-digit integers in the closed interval [2022,4482][2022, 4482] formed by using the digits 0,2,3,4,6,70, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 is _____.

Answer and worked solution

Official answer: 569

The digits 0,2,3,4,6,70,2,3,4,6,7 may repeat.

First digit 2 (2000-2999): 63=2166^3=216 numbers. Those below 2022 are 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007 and 2020, so we keep 216−7=209216-7=209.

First digit 3: all 63=2166^3=216 numbers.

First digit 4 (at most 4482):

  • second digit 0, 2 or 3: 3×36=1083\times36=108;
  • second digit 4: every third digit is at most 7, so all of 44xy44xy are at most 4482: 36.

Total. 209+216+108+36=569209+216+108+36=569.
