Attempted by 13 students.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Answer: 106656
Reason:
There are 4 distinct digits (1, 5, 2, 8). The total number of 4-digit permutations is 4! = 24, and each digit appears in each place (thousands, hundreds, tens, units) exactly (4-1)! = 3! = 6 times.
Sum of the digits = 1 + 5 + 2 + 8 = 16.
Contribution per place = (sum of digits) * (3!) = 16 * 6 = 96. There are four place values with weights 1000, 100, 10, 1, so total place-weight factor = 1000 + 100 + 10 + 1 = 1111.
Total sum = 96 * 1111 = 106656.
Therefore, the sum of all 4-digit numbers formed using 1, 5, 2, 8 (without repetition) is 106656.
