Solution
Between any set of digits, greatest number is possible when digits are arranged in descending order.
∴ 7432 is the greatest number, formed from the digits 2, 3, 4, 7.
∴ Since a 4-digit number is to be formed from the digits 2, 3, 4, 7, where repetition of digit is not allowed.
∴ 1000’s place digit can be selected in 4 ways.
100’s place digit can be selected in 3 ways.
10’s place digit can be selected in 2 ways.
Unit’s place digit can be selected in 1 way.
∴ Total number of numbers not exceeding 7432 that can be formed with the digits 2, 3, 4, 7
= Total number of four digit numbers possible from the digits 2, 3, 4, 7
= 4 × 3 × 2 × 1
= 24
