N is an integer such that 5999 < N < 8001, and each digit of N is either 0 or 2 or 4 or 6 or 8 only. How many values of N are possible?
A. 25
B. 125
C. 126
D. 250
E. 251
Let's consider two possible cases:
Case 1: Numbers in the form 6???
Case 2: Numbers in the form 8???
Case 1: Numbers in the form 6???We have
5 options (0, 2, 4, 6, or 8) for the hundreds digit.
We have
5 options (0, 2, 4, 6, or 8) for the tens digit.
We have
5 options (0, 2, 4, 6, or 8) for the units digit.
So, the total number of integers in the form 6??? = (
5)(
5)(
5) =
125Case 2: Numbers in the form 8???Since N < 8001, we can see that 8000 is only possible number in the form 8???
So, the total number of integers in the form 8??? =
1So, the number of values of N =
125 +
1 =
