    How many numbers greater than 40000 can be formed from the digits 2, 4, 5, 5, 7?

    A)  12              

    B)  24

    C)  36              

    D)  48

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Number of permutations formed by given numbers\[=\frac{5!}{2!}\] \[=5\times 4\times 3=60\] Since, in these permutations numbers start with 2 are also included. Which will be less than 40000. If 2 be the starting digit, then the number of permutations formed by remaining four numbers \[=\frac{4!}{2!}=4\times 3=12\] Hence, required permutations\[=60-12=48\]
