•(i) greater than 4000  abcd  a=4,5,...,9    6 ways  b....   8 ways  c.....   7ways  d.......   6ways  Total numbers: 6∙8∙7∙6=2016  • (ii) less than 6000      5∙8∙7∙6=1680 numbers  •(iii) divisible by  2  unit digit may be 2,4,6,8  4∙8∙7∙6=1344 numbers  •(iv) divisible by 5  unit digit may be filled by 5 only  1∙8∙7∙6=336 numbers

  i think there′s a mistake in (ii)  it should be 5∙8∙7∙6=1680
