How many numbers greater than 5000 can be formed using the digits 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 using the
digits only once.

4 digit numbers Numbers 5 digit numbers

already
used

14321 = 24 14321 5 4 321= 120

= 24

P( 4 digit numbers or 5 digit numbers) = P( 4 digit numbers)+ P ( 5 digit numbers) – (numbers already used)

P( 4 digit numbers or 5 digit numbers)= 24 + 120 – 24

P( 4 digit numbers or 5 digit numbers)= 120

There are 120 numbers that are greater than 5000 using the digits
1,2,3,4 and 5 and using it only once.
