Sol. We divide the even 4-digit numbers having non-zero digits into 4 classes : those ending in 2, 4, 6, 8.

Suppose a 4-digit number ends in 2. Then the second right digit must be odd in order to be divisible by 4. Thus the last 2 digits must be of the form 12, 32, 52,72 or 92. If a number ends in 12, 52 or 92, then the previous digit must be even in order not to be divisible by 8 and we have 4 admissible even digits. Now the left most digit of such a 4-digit number can be any non-zero digit and there are 9 such ways, and we get 9 × 4 × 3 = 108 such number. If a number ends in 32 or 72, then the previous digit must be odd in order not to be divisible by 8 and we have 5 admissible odd digits. Here again the left most digit of such a 4-digit number can be any non-zero digit and there are 9 such ways, and we get 9 × 5 × 2 = 90 such number. Thus the number of 4-digit number having non-zero digits, ending in 2, divisible by 4 not by 8 is 108 + 90 = 198.

. If the number ends in 4, then the previous digit must be even for divisibility by 4. Thus the last two digits must be of the form 24, 44, 64, 84. If we take numbers ending with 24 and 64, then the previous digit must be odd for non-divisibility by 8 and the left most digit can be any non-zero digit. Here we get 9 × 5 × 2 = 90 such numbers. If the last two digits are of the form 44 and 84, then previous digit must be even for non-divisibility by 8. And the left most digit can take 9 possible values. We thus get 9 × 4 × 2 = 72 numbers. Thus the admissible numbers ending in 4 is 90 + 72 = 162.

If a number ends with 6, then the last two digits must be of the form 16, 36, 56, 76, 96. For numbers ending with 16, 56, 76, the previous digit must be odd. For numbers ending with 36, 76, the previous digit must be even. Thus we get here (9 × 5 × 3) + (9 × 4 × 2) = 135 + 72 = 207 numbers.

If a number ends with 8, then the last two digits must be of the form 28, 48, 68, 88. For numbers ending with 28, 68, the previous digit must be even. For numbers ending with 48, 88 the previous digit must be odd. Thus we get (9 × 4 × 2) + (9 × 5 × 2) = 72 + 90 = 162 numbers.

Thus the number of 4-digit numbers, having non-zero digits, and divisible by 4 but not by 8 is

198 + 168 + 207 + 162 = 729.
