How many 4-digit numbers have the second digit even and the fourth digit is at most  twice the second digit? (Here, digits are read from the left, so the first digit is the leftmost digit, and so on.)

There are 2 cases: The second digit is a 2 or it is a 4

 

If the second digit is a 2: \(9 \times 1 \times 10 \times 5 = 450\)

If the second digit is a 4: \(9 \times 1 \times 10 \times 9 = 810\)

 

Add these together for a total of \(\color{brown}\boxed{1,260}\) ways

the fourth digit is at most  twice the second digit    ....   I think you may need to recalculate .....surprise

 

second digit = 0    fourth = 0

                       2    fourth    0 1 2 3 4

                       4    fourth     0 - 8

                       6    fourth   0-9

                       8    fourth   0-9         Right?frown

I agree with EP!  If repetitions are allowed, I calculate: 3,150 such 4-digit integers.

0          0                     9*10 = 90

2,      (0,1,2)               9*10*3 = 270

4,       (0-8)                 9*10*9 = 810

6       (0-9)                  9*10*10=900

8        (0-9)                 9*10*10=900

 

90+270+810+1800 = 2970
