Correct answer: 33
-
We need to form 4-digit numbers between and using digits without repetition, and the number must be divisible by .
-
Since the number is between and , the thousands digit can only be:
-
For divisibility by , the last two digits must form a number divisible by .
Using digits without repetition, let us list all possible 2-digit endings divisible by :
(We exclude since repetition is not allowed.)
-
Now count valid 4-digit numbers casewise.
Case 1: Thousands digit =
The ending (last two digits) cannot contain .
From the list remove those containing : So there are possible endings.
For each such ending, the hundreds digit can be chosen from the remaining digits.
After fixing the thousands digit and the last two digits, digits remain, so the hundreds digit has:
Hence total numbers in this case:
Case 2: Thousands digit =
The ending cannot contain .
From the list remove those containing : So there are possible endings.
Again, after fixing thousands digit and last two digits, digits remain for the hundreds digit.
Hence total numbers in this case:
-
Therefore total valid numbers:
-
So the required number of integers is:
-
Comparison with stored answer:
- Derived answer =
- Stored correct answer =
They do not match.
- Quick verification by direct listing of valid endings:
- For thousands digit : endings , each gives choices for the hundreds digit .
- For thousands digit : endings , each gives choices for the hundreds digit .
Thus total is indeed:
So the stored answer appears to be incorrect.
