Problem
How many integers between and
have four distinct digits arranged in increasing order? (For example,
is one integer.).
Solution 1
Firstly, observe that the second digit of such a number cannot be or
, because the digits must be distinct and increasing. The second digit also cannot be
as the number must be less than
, so it must be
. It remains to choose the latter two digits, which must be
distinct digits from
. That can be done in
ways; there is then only
way to order the digits, namely in increasing order. This means the answer is
.
Solution 2 (without using the "choose" function)
As in Solution 1, we find that the first two digits must be , and the third digit must be at least
. If it is
, then there are
choices for the last digit, namely
,
,
,
, or
. Similarly, if the third digit is
, there are
choices for the last digit, namely
,
,
, and
; if
, there are
choices; if
, there are
choices; and if
, there is
choice. It follows that the total number of such integers is
.
