it is not mention that B needs to be just after A.. like A can be in 1 in line B in 5 position still A is before.. They have just assumed the case where they are consequently arranged in line

It is a trick question most of the answers will try to convince you to find all the possible combinations. The correct answer somehow can be determined by using the LCM of the 2 numbers. Here LCM(4,6)=12 Now divide 200 by 12 to see how many possible arrangements we have. Now we will have the answer as 16.6666….. So since we get 16 as a whole number so the answer will be 16. If we were told that we could also not use one type,i.e If the batsman only scores using 4s or only using 6s then the answer would have been the next whole number, i.e 17.

1 digit no. = 4 2 digits no. = 20 3 digits no. = 375 for calculating 4 digits we can three cases - 1st where 4 and 0 won\'t come at thousand place = 3*5*5*5 = 375 2nd where 4 comes at thousand but 3 and 4 won\'t come at hundred place = 1*3*5*5=75 sum up all and you will get 564 well is it the correct answer. do the answers provided in the options are wrong? well, the questions says \'not more than\' means we can get at max 4300 which is our last case (3rd) which we didn\'t cover yet in 4 digits no. = 1*1*1*1*1
