$\bf\Huge\red{\mid{\overline{\underline{ ANSWER }}}\mid }$

➡️Let the 4 digit code be 1234.

➡️At the first place, the number of letters possible is 10.

➡️Let’s suppose any 1 of the ten occupies place 1.

➡️Now, as the repetition is not allowed, the number of letters possible at place 2 is 9.

➡️Now at 1 and 2, any 2 of the 10 alphabets have been taken.

➡️ The number of alphabets left for place 3 is 8 and similarly the number of alphabets possible at 4 is 7.

➡️Therefore the total number of 4 letter codes=10 × 9 × 8 × 7=5040.
