When 1st digit is 1, 6 numbers are posiible.

6*1000 + 111*12.

Similarly,
6*1000 + 111*10
6*1000 + 111*6.

Total sum is 18000 + 111*24.

I mean 111*28 + 18000 = 21108.

hmm....
I am having a different answer

1111*6*7 (for all combinations possible without repetations)

however 0 at the begining doesn't make a valid 4 digit no. subtracting the sum of all numbers when 0 is at first position
111*7*2

thus we have
1111*7*6 -111*7*2=45108

024, 042, 204, 240, 402, 420 when 1st digit is 1.
014, 041, 104, 140, 401, 410 when 1st digit is 2.
same for 1st digit is 4.

hence 24, 000 more than what I got.
made a cardinal error in calculation.

You can see that every even no. terms except for 2^2 would be divisible by 8. Now check the odd no. terms
1 gives 1
3 gives 3
5 gives 5 or -3
7 gives 7 or -1
9 gives 1
11 gives 3
13 gives 5 or -3
15 gives 7 or -1
so set of 4 consecutive odd no.s give are divisible by 8.
There are 25 odd no. terms so ur left with
2^2 + 49^49 (sum of rest is already divisible by
4+1=5 (Ans)
