Detailed Solution

Suppose, the first two digits are 41, remaining four digits are to be chosen from 0, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 so as to make all the digits distinct.

∴ Remaining four can be chosen in P (8, 4) ways.

We have 8 letters and they are to be arranged at 4 places.

First place can be arranged in 8 different ways.

Second place can be arranged in 7 different ways.

Third place can be arranged in 6 different ways.

Fourth place can be arranged in 5 different ways.

Number of such telephone numbers = 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 = 1680.

Now, considering the all given first two digits (41 or 42 or 46 or 64), total number of the telephone numbers

= 1680 × 5 = 8400.
