Question 168

Question. 168

Find sum of greatest and least 6-digit numbers formed by digits 2,0,4,7,6,5 (using each digit once).

Answer:

1064201

Detailed Answer with Explanation:

Step 1: Form the greatest 6-digit number

Arrange digits in descending order.

\(7,\ 6,\ 5,\ 4,\ 2,\ 0\)

Greatest number = \(765420\)

Step 2: Form the least 6-digit number

A 6-digit number cannot start with \(0\).

Choose the smallest non-zero digit first: \(2\).

Then place the remaining digits in ascending order, putting \(0\) next: \(0,\ 4,\ 5,\ 6,\ 7\).

Smallest number = \(204567\)

Step 3: Add them

\(765420\ +\ 204567\)

\(=\ 969987\)

Answer: \(969987\)
