This is certainly not a GMAT question.Are you using a reliable source?

this is not too hard but very time-consuming
from digits 1,2,3,4,5 using digits only once we can form 5!=120 numbers
when we sum all numbers each digit in all numbers will appear exactly 120/5=24 times
1*24+2*24+3*24+4*24+5*24=360
and now let us sum
12345
12354
12543
..........

.....360
...360

the right answer to me 39999960-A

thank you very much .... can you explain me in simple method..

i will try with simple example
imagine that you have the same task but with digit 1,2,3
with this you have 3!=6 numbers
123
132
213
231
312
321

and now sum them
as you notice all digits (1,2,3) appear 6/3=2 times
start to sum units
(1+1)+(2+2)+(3+3)=12 and 2 will be the unit digit of the answer.
the sum of the tenths will be exactly the same -12+1(from units)=13,
the same for hundreds and the resulting answer
1332
