Correct answer: C
-
We need the number of four-digit numbers greater than formed from digits , with repetition allowed.
-
Total number of four-digit numbers possible:
- First digit can be (cannot be ), so choices.
- Each of the remaining three digits can be any of , so choices.
Hence,
-
Instead of counting numbers greater than directly, count numbers less than or equal to , then subtract from .
Count numbers
We count by first digit.
Case 1: First digit is or
Then the number is automatically less than .
- Choices for first digit:
- Remaining three digits:
So count is
Case 2: First digit is
Now we must ensure the number is .
So consider numbers of form .
Subcase 2.1: Second digit
Second digit can be : choices. Then last two digits are arbitrary: .
Count:
Subcase 2.2: Second digit
Now number is . We need .
Subcase 2.2.1: Third digit
Third digit can be : choices. Last digit arbitrary: choices.
Count:
Subcase 2.2.2: Third digit
Now number is and we need . So , i.e. : choices.
Count:
Thus, with first digit :
-
Therefore total numbers are
-
Hence numbers strictly greater than are
-
Therefore the correct option is So, Option C is correct.
