the total number of 5 digit number of different digits in which the digit in the middle is the largest is???

the middle no. is atleast 4,(as all digits are distinct).

the remaining places filled by{0,1,2,3} in 4!-3!=18 ways.(1st place cant be 0)

1.if mid. no.=5,then the remaining 4 places have to be filled up by numbers from the set {0,1,2,3,4}.

therefore the no. of such numbers=5p4-4p3

2. middle position 6.rest places filled up from the set {0,1,2,3,4,5}

possibilities:6p4-5p3

3.middle no. 7

set of admissible no.s={0,1,2,3,4,5,6}

possibilities=7p4-6p3

4.middle no. 8

set of admissible no.s={1,2,3,4,5,6,7}

possibilities:8p4-7p3

5.middle position 9.

set of admissible no.s={0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}

possibilities:9p4-8p3
