A tech company generates a 5-digit security badge number, represented as , using digits from to , inclusive. The badge numbers must satisfy the following constraints:
- The first digit, , cannot be or .
- The second and third digits, and , must be distinct even digits.
- The fourth digit, , must be an odd digit strictly greater than .
- The fifth digit, , can be any digit except that it cannot be equal to .
How many different 5-digit badge numbers can be created under these rules?

- B4,860
- C5,400
- D5,760
- E6,000
Cevap
4,320
According to the Fundamental Counting Principle, the total number of configurations is the product of the number of options available at each stage. For the first position, excluding 0 and 1 leaves 8 possible digits. For the second position, any of the 5 even digits can be chosen. For the third position, one of the remaining 4 even digits must be selected to preserve distinctness. For the fourth position, the odd digits strictly greater than 3 are 5, 7, and 9, providing 3 options. Finally, for the fifth position, 9 digits remain available after excluding the specific digit chosen for the first position. Multiplying these independent counts gives 8 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 9 = 4,320.
