all the numbers formed by using 5 or all 6 of the digits given are greater than 10,000.

so checking the number of itmes a digit occurs on a place.

eg:

making a five digit number with 1 as 1st digit...

1_ _ _ _   5C4 * 4! = 120......i.e. 1 will occur on first place 120 times similarly all the numbers will occur on all the places 120 times..

so, the sum 6+5+4+3+2+1  =  21.

lets add it from first place to fifth place 120 times.

21*120   +  21*120*10(tenth place)  + 21*120*100 (hundreth place) + 21*120*1000  +   21*120*10000.......eq1

now for 6 digit numbers..........

its the same way...

6 _ _ _ _ _

6 comes on the place 5! times as the places can be filled in 5! ways....

thrfr the sum will come on every place 5! times!!!

5! = 120

21 * 120   +   21*120*10   +   21*120*100   +    21*120*1000  +  21*120*10000  +   21*120*100000.........eq2

add both!!
