To form a four digit number with distinct digits we can use any four digits from the digits 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 without repetition
Since 0 cannot come as the first digit of a four digit number( then it will be a three digit number) the first place can be filled by any of the 9 digits other than 0.
Now we have 9 more digits left and since repetition is not allowed the second place can by filled by any of these 9 digits
Similarly the third and fourth can be filled by any of the 8 and 7 digits respectively
Hence we get the four places can be filled together by different ways.





If a, b, c, d , e are in G. P., then equals
