Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Key idea: Each digit appears equally often in each place value.
There are 4 digits (2, 3, 5, 9). Fixing any one place, the other 3 digits can be arranged in 3! = 6 ways, so each digit appears 6 times in each place.
Sum of the digits = 2 + 3 + 5 + 9 = 19.
Contribution of all digits to a single place = 19 × 3! = 19 × 6 = 114.
Total sum over all place values = 114 × (1000 + 100 + 10 + 1) = 114 × 1111 = 126654.
