Solution
Given that each number starts at 67, we need a five-digit number. So we have to fill only one’s place, 10’s place, and 100th place. From 0 to 9 there are 10 digits. In these digits, 6 and 7 should not be used as a repetition of digits is not allowed. Except for these two digits, we have 8 digits. Therefore one’s place can be filled by any of the 8 digits in 8 different ways. Now there are 7 digits are left.
Therefore 10’s place can be filled by any of the 7 digits in 7 different ways. Similarly, 100th place can be filled in 6 different ways. By multiplication principle, the number of telephone numbers constructed is 8 × 7 × 6 = 336.
