Previous Year Question (PYQs)
2
The number of numbers greater than 23000 that can be formed from the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 is …
Solution
We have 5 digits → total 5! = 120 numbers.
Numbers greater than 23000 must start with 3, 4, or 5.
For each case:
Start with 3,4,5 → remaining 4 digits can be arranged in 4! = 24 ways each.
Total = $3 \times 24 = 72$.
Additionally, numbers starting with 2 are not all smaller (only those starting 23,24,25). For 24 and 25 → also possible 24 numbers.
Total = $72 + 18 = 90$.
