Detailed Solution

We have 0 + 1 + 2 + 3 … + 8 + 9 = 45

To obtain an eight digit number exactly divisible by 9, we must not use either (0, 9) or (1, 8) or (2, 7) or (3, 6) or (4, 5). [Sum of the remaining eight digits is 36 which is  exactly divisible by 9.]

When, we do not use (0, 9), then the number of required 8 digit numbers is 8!.

When one of (1, 8) or (2, 7) or (3, 6) or (4, 5) is not used, the remaining digits can be arranged in 8!7! ways.{0 can not be at extreme left.}

Hence, there are 8!+4(8!7!)=(36)(7!) numbers in the  desired category.
