CAT 1998 | Question: 62

Question

Five digit numbers are formed using only $0, 1, 2, 3, 4$ exactly once. What is the difference between the maximum and minimum number that can be formed?

• A. $19800$
• B. $41976$
• C. $32976$
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Maximum number that can be formed using 0,1,2,3,4 = 43210

Minimum number that can be formed using 0,1,2,3,4 = 10234

 

Difference between the maximum and minimum number = 43210 - 10234  = 32976

 

Hence,option(C)32976 is the correct choice.
