Correct answer: 0

When n 5 takes value from 10 to 6 the carry forward moves from 0 to 4 which can be arranged in 4 C 0 + 4 C 1 4 + 4 C 2 2 + 4 C 4 1 = 7 Alternate solution Possible solutions are 1, 2, 3, 4, 10 1, 2, 3, 5, 9 1, 2, 3, 6, 8 1, 2, 4, 5, 8 1, 2, 4, 6, 7 1, 3, 4, 5, 7 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Hence 7 solutions are there.
