Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Key idea: Divisibility by 9 depends only on the sum of the digits.
Sum of the given digits: 6 + 4 + 8 + 1 = 19, which is not divisible by 9.
Because rearranging digits does not change their sum, no permutation of these four digits can produce a number divisible by 9.
We must use all four digits without repetition, so only 4-digit numbers are considered.
Since the digit-sum 19 is not a multiple of 9, there are 0 such numbers.
