Open in App
Solution

Step 1: Write the first 5 smallest digits(one less than the required no. of digits in the number) in ascending order.

The first five 5 smallest digits in ascending order-- 0<1<2<3<4

Step 2: To form the smallest 6-digit number using only one digit twice.

To form the smallest 6-digit number using only one digit twice, we have to write the number using the 5-digits in above order and repeating the smallest digit, i.e., 0 twice.

Since, we cannot place 0 at the extreme left(or the highest place), substitute it with the digit on its immediate right . So, the smallest 5-digit number is 1,00,234

Hence, the smallest 6-digit number that can be formed if only one digit is allowed to appear twice is 1,00,234
