Using only the integers 4 to 8,  how many even numbers can be  formed if each must lie between  4000 and  9000?

As the numbers are between  4000 & 9000, so the number of  positions is  4.  Each of 1000th,100th & 10th   positions can be filled with  4,5,6,7 & 8 i-e in 5 ways but  the unit position can be filled  with 4,6 & 8 i-e in 3 ways because  the numbers are even.  ∴Total ways =5.5.5.3=375

$$\mathcal{A}{s}\:{the}\:{numbers}\:{are}\:{between} \\ $$$$\mathrm{4000}\:\&\:\mathrm{9000},\:{so}\:{the}\:{number}\:{of} \\ $$$${positions}\:{is}\:\:\mathrm{4}. \\ $$$$\mathcal{E}{ach}\:{of}\:\mathrm{1000}{th},\mathrm{100}{th}\:\&\:\mathrm{10}{th}\: \\ $$$${positions}\:{can}\:{be}\:{filled}\:{with} \\ $$$$\mathrm{4},\mathrm{5},\mathrm{6},\mathrm{7}\:\&\:\mathrm{8}\:{i}-{e}\:{in}\:\mathrm{5}\:{ways}\:{but} \\ $$$${the}\:{unit}\:{position}\:{can}\:{be}\:{filled} \\ $$$${with}\:\mathrm{4},\mathrm{6}\:\&\:\mathrm{8}\:{i}-{e}\:{in}\:\mathrm{3}\:{ways}\:{because} \\ $$$${the}\:{numbers}\:{are}\:{even}. \\ $$$$\therefore{Total}\:{ways}\:=\mathrm{5}.\mathrm{5}.\mathrm{5}.\mathrm{3}=\mathrm{375} \\ $$
