    5 - Digit numbers are to be formed using 2, 3, 5, 7, 9 without repeating the digits. If p be the number of such numbers that exceed 20000 and q be the number of those that lie between 30000 and 90000, then p:q is:

    A) \[6:5\]

    B) \[3:2\]

    C) \[4:3\]

    D) \[5:3\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] \[p:\underset{5}{\mathop{TTH\,\,\,}}\,\underset{4}{\mathop{TH}}\,\underset{3}{\mathop{\,\,\,H\,\,}}\,\underset{2}{\mathop{T\,\,}}\,\underset{1}{\mathop{0}}\,\,\,\,\,\,\begin{matrix}    place  \\    ways  \\ \end{matrix}\] Total no. of ways \[=5!=120\] Since all numbers are \[>20,000\] \[\therefore \] All numbers 2, 3,5,7,9 can come at first place. \[q:\underset{5}{\mathop{TTH}}\,\,\,\,\underset{4}{\mathop{\,TH}}\,\,\,\,\,\underset{3}{\mathop{H}}\,\underset{2}{\mathop{\,\,\,\,T\,\,\,\,\,}}\,\underset{1}{\mathop{0}}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\begin{matrix}    place  \\    ways  \\ \end{matrix}\] Total no. of ways \[=3\times 4!=72\] (\[\because \] 2 and 9 cannot be put at first place) So, \[p:q=120:72=5:3\]
