Solution

The correct option is B 1800
As two is already included, four more digits are required to be selected out of 6 digits.
The number of ways of selecting the numbers = 6C4 = 6C2 = 15 ways
Also, five digits can be arranged amongst themselves in 5! = 120 ways.
Hence the total no. of possibilities =120×15=1800 ways.
