How many 5-digit numbers are there in all?

(A)99999
(B)10000
(C)89999
(D)90000
(E)None of the above.
It takes time and effort to explain, so if my comment helped you please press Thanks button :)



Just because something is hard doesn't mean you shouldn't try,it means you should just try harder.

5 digit nos. start from 10000 and ends at 99999
so total number = 99999-10000+1 = 90000 Ans D

D - that was easy

it's curious that Harsh.Champ ALWAYS starts the post... but NEVER follows up with the answer.. .it's ALWAYS Shashank.ism

1.) The answers from osirus and ajith TODAY are because we're following you're lead... how about the other time when you and Harsh.Champ post in the same manner before getting caught?

2.) Well "clearing confusion" is how one learns... correct?!? I believe so... and I appraise because I'm genuinely thankful. I will say that I appraise you because I know why you're posting like this. Actually everyone does.

I will say this though, it's not that I or we have a problem with you posting... it's the manner in which it is done. I won't engage in any further posts from you or Harsh.Champ and if that puts me in 6th, then so be it. I look forward to hearing your updates about whichever prize you choose. Good Luck on the GMAT - you'll knock Quant out of the park!!

ok thanks for ur post money1119.. and ur suggestion..but going by data sufficiency when harsh is online I m not and when I am harsh is not. so overall it makes 24 hours ... which means I m a robot.. I don't think I m a robot..and If I am a robot I will surely knock out quant ...
Well to post or not is ur choice . and I know you never gonna settle at 6 . you always have something to post...varying from 1 line to many.. Good Luck on the GMAT ...
