Solution

There are 2 ways for arrangement of last 4 digits
i) 7th places i.e last places with 9 and 4th,5th,6th place with numbers 0 to 8
Permutation for above condition =9×9×=729
ii) Not taking 9 at 7th place putting 1,3,5 or 7 any one of them at 7th place has 4 ways and their arrangement has 3 ways and similar in left three place one place will be for 9 and other 2 place will be arranged in =9×9=81
Permutation for above criteria =81×4×3=972
Adding both =729+972=1701
First 3 places can be 635 or 674 so 2 ways
successful or total attempt =2×1701
=3402 ways
