Solution

Assuming that the code of an ATM  has all distinct digits.
Number of ways for selecting the first digit = 4
Number of ways for selecting the second digit = 3
Number of ways for selecting the third digit = 2
Number of ways for selecting the fourth digit = 1
Total number of possible codes for the ATM =`4xx3xx2xx1=24`
