![your idea is absolutely correct. i think there are no other shortcut methods than this. so the task is to find the number of ways to select r digits from [1,9] such that their sum is a multiple of 9, i.e. 9, 18, 27, 36, 45. here r=2, 3, ...,9.](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q179535.png)

![an attempt since such a number should consist of distinct digits, it must have at least two digits and at most 10 digits. let′s consider at first only numbers without the digit “0”, since if we have a r−digit−number which is divisible by 9, but without “0”, then we have automatically r (r+1)−digit−numbers which are also divisible by 9. as example: say d_1 d_2 ...d_r is divisible by 9, with d_i ≠0, then d_1 0d_2 ...d_r ,d_1 d_2 0...d_r ,...,d_1 d_2 ...d_r 0 are also divisible by 9. we know a number is divisible by 9, if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9. the sum of 9 different digits can at most be 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9=45. therefore the sum of the digits from a number with distinct digits and divisible by 9 must be 9 or 18 or 27 or 36 or 45. now we should find the number of ways to select r digits from [1,9] such that their sum is 9 or 18 or 27 or 36 or 45. here r=1,2,...,9. say the r distinct digits are d_1 ,d_2 ,...,d_r with d_1 <d_2 <...<d_r and 1≤d_i ≤9 with them we can form r! r−digit−numbers. d_1 +d_2 +...+d_r =9 or 18 or 27 or 36 or 45. the number of integer solutions of this equation represents the number of ways to select d_1 ,d_2 ,...,d_r from [1,9].](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q179619.png)
