Q1. What is the minimum 4-digit number that can be formed using the digits 0, 7, 1, 3 exactly once each?
Show answer and explanation
Answer: B
The available digits are 0, 7, 1, 3. To minimise a number, the leading digit must be non-zero (a leading zero would drop the digit count), so the smallest non-zero digit, 1, leads. The remaining digits [0, 3, 7] then follow in ascending order. This gives 1037. So the minimum 4-digit number is 1037.

Q2. What is the maximum 4-digit number that can be formed using the digits 8, 7, 0, 2 exactly once each?
Show answer and explanation
Answer: D
The available digits are 8, 7, 0, 2. To maximise a number, its digits should go in descending order, from largest to smallest. Arranging 8, 7, 0, 2 in descending order gives [8, 7, 2, 0], which reads as 8720. So the maximum 4-digit number is 8720.

Q3. What is the minimum 5-digit number that can be formed using the digits 2, 6, 7, 4, 0 exactly once each?
Show answer and explanation
Answer: A
The available digits are 2, 6, 7, 4, 0. To minimise a number, the leading digit must be non-zero (a leading zero would drop the digit count), so the smallest non-zero digit, 2, leads. The remaining digits [0, 4, 6, 7] then follow in ascending order. This gives 20467. So the minimum 5-digit number is 20467.
