There could be six cases:
Case I:
The four digits consist of 1, 1, 1, 2.
Total numbers that can be formed using these four digits: 4. (2 can be in any of the four places)
Case 2:
1, 1, 3, 0
Total numbers that can be formed: 12. (4!/2, using Mississippi Rule of combination)
Case 3:
1, 2, 2, 0
Total numbers that can be formed: 12. (4!/2, using Mississippi Rule of combination)
Case 4:
1, ,4, 0, 0
Total numbers that can be formed: 12. (4!/2, using Mississippi Rule of combination)
Case 5:
0, 0, 0, 5
Total numbers that can be formed:4. (5 can be in any four places)
Case 6:
2, 3, 0, 0
Total numbers that can be formed: 12. (4!/2, using Mississippi Rule of combination)
Grand total of numbes: 4+12+12+12+4+12 = 56. Choice C.
Cheers.

1 digit:
5 so, 1 way
2 digits:
41-> 2 ways
32-> 2 ways
50-> 1 way
total 5 ways.
3 digits:
104-> 2*2*1 as (hundred's place 1,4 only allowed)(ten's place 2 possible)(one's place 1 possible)= 4 ways
113-> 3 ways as 3!/2! repeat
203-> 4 ways
221->3 ways
500-> 1 way
total: 15 ways
4 digits:
1004->6 ways as 2*3*2*1/2! (thousand's place 2 possible)(hundred's place 3 possible)(ten's 2) and 1 / repeat 2!
1013->9 ways
1022->9 ways
1112->4 ways
3200-> 6 ways
5000-> 1 way
total:35
So, for all digits 56 ways
5 so, 1 way
2 digits:
41-> 2 ways
32-> 2 ways
50-> 1 way
total 5 ways.
3 digits:
104-> 2*2*1 as (hundred's place 1,4 only allowed)(ten's place 2 possible)(one's place 1 possible)= 4 ways
113-> 3 ways as 3!/2! repeat
203-> 4 ways
221->3 ways
500-> 1 way
total: 15 ways
4 digits:
1004->6 ways as 2*3*2*1/2! (thousand's place 2 possible)(hundred's place 3 possible)(ten's 2) and 1 / repeat 2!
1013->9 ways
1022->9 ways
1112->4 ways
3200-> 6 ways
5000-> 1 way
total:35
So, for all digits 56 ways
