Solution


We can choose the first digit any of 9 ways, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 or 9
We can then choose the 2nd digit any of 9 ways, 0 or any of 8 ways not chosen for the 1st digit
We can then choose the 3rd digit any of the 9 ways we didn't choose for 2nd digit.
We can then choose the 4th digit any of the 9 ways we didn't choose for the 3rd digit.
We can then choose the 5th digit any of the 9 ways we didn't choose for the 4th digit.
So total number = 9×9×9×9×9=95=9812
