Correct answer: D

  1. We need to count integers greater than 600060006000 formed using the digits 3,5,6,7,83,5,6,7,83,5,6,7,8 without repetition.

  2. Since the number must be greater than 600060006000, it can have either:

    • 444 digits, or
    • 555 digits.
  3. Count 4-digit numbers greater than 600060006000

    For a 4-digit number to be greater than 600060006000, its thousand's digit must be one of 6,7,86,7,86,7,8.

    • Choose the first digit: 333 ways (6,7,86,7,86,7,8)
    • Choose and arrange the remaining 333 places from the remaining 444 digits: 4P3=4×3×2=24^4P_3 = 4 \times 3 \times 2 = 244P3​=4×3×2=24

    So, number of such 4-digit numbers is 3×24=723 \times 24 = 723×24=72

  4. Count 5-digit numbers

    Any 5-digit number formed from these digits is automatically greater than 600060006000.

    Number of 5-digit numbers using all 555 digits without repetition: 5!=1205! = 1205!=120

  5. Total numbers 72+120=19272 + 120 = 19272+120=192

  6. Therefore, the required number of integers is 192\boxed{192}192​

  7. Comparison with stored answer

    Stored correct answer is D, which corresponds to 192192192.

    Hence, my derived answer agrees with the stored answer.
