@The_Loser number of ways 6!5*5*5*5*5*5how ever we will have to remove the cases with first digit as 0so 5!*5*5*5*5*5so ans 6!5*5*5*5*5*5 - 5!5*5*5*5*5what am i doin wrong here??
5^6 - in dis u have already arranged the numbers. wt we have to do is selection of places.
Like for 1st case - 6C3 * 5^6. Here out of 6 select three places for even d rest 3 places for odd. and than arrange numbers 5*5*5*5*5*5.
Similerly subtract numbers having zero at 1st place. Chose 2 out f 5 places for odd that is 5C2 and dan arrange rest in 5^5 ways

Total ways = 6c3 * 5^6 - 5c2 * 5^5 = 281250
