Using the digits 1,2,3 & 4, 24 four digit numbers can be formed.
Out of these 24 numbers in 6(24/4) numbers each digit occurs once in the thousands place, once in the hundreds place, once in the tens place and once in the units place.
Hence, the digit 1 occurs 6 times in the 1000's place, 6 times in the 100's place, 6 times in the 10's place and 6 times in the units place.
So will the other digits.
Let's start with the digit 1:
The sum of oll the numbers with 1 occuring in ANY place will be 1111*6
Similarly for 2 it will be 2222*6
And so on for 3 & 4.
Hence the sum of all the numbers will be (1111+2222+3333+4444)*6=66660.
Hope this helps!
