Question 166

Question. 166

Mobile number: first 4 digits = 9,9,7,9. Make smallest number using one digit twice from 8,3,5,6,0.

Answer:

Digits = 0,3,5,6,8 (with 0 used twice)

Detailed Answer with Explanation:

  1. First 4 digits are fixed: (9,,9,,7,,9).

  2. Available digits for the remaining 6 places: (8,,3,,5,,6,,0).

  3. We are allowed to repeat exactly one digit once.

    To make the smallest number, repeat the smallest digit.

    Smallest digit here is (0).

  4. So the 6 digits we will use are:

    (0,;0,;3,;5,;6,;8).

  5. Arrange these 6 digits in ascending order (since the first 4 are fixed):

    (0,0,3,5,6,8).

  6. Write the full number by placing them after the fixed prefix:

    (9,9,7,9;0,0,3,5,6,8).
