Dear student,

One digit numbers are 5
two digit numbers can have first digit choosen from 5 digits, the 2nd - from 5, ...the count is 5.5
three digit numbers can be have first digit choosen from 5 digits, the 2nd - from 5 and the third from 4, so 5.5.4
four digit numbers - 5.5.4.3
five digit numbers - 5.5.4.3.2
six digit numbers - 5.5.4.3.2.1
so the count is A=5+5.5+5.5.4.3+5.5.4.3.2+5.5.4.3.2.1
we extract the count of 1,2, 3digit numbers - so we totally extract B=5+5.5+5.5.4.
the number we look for is A-B - the number of number that are in the interval 1000 to 3000 that are formed from the above digits. Notice that we can't form a the number 3000.
the first digit is 1 or 2. Then we have 5 possibilities for the second digit, 5 for the 3rd, 4 for the fouth. Totally 5.5.4 multiplied by 2, so 5.5.4.2.
