Read Solution (Total 3)
-
- since there 5 digits therefore 5*4*3*2*1=120 distinct combinations possible without repetition
each of our 5 values will appear in each position 120/5=24 times. This means that we can sum them up like this:
Sum of ten thousands digits: 24*10,000*(1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9)
+
Sum of thousands digits: 24*1,000*(1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9)
+
Sum of hundreds digits: 24*100*(1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9)
+
Sum of tens digits: 24*10*(1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9)
+
Sum of units digits: 24*1*(1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9)
