Number greater than 20000 or p

1st place can be placed with 5 possibilities and second with 4 possibilities and so on

So \underline5 \times \underline4 \times \underline3 \times \underline2 \times \underline1=5 !=P

And

Number greater than 30000 and less than 90000 or q

1st place can be placed with 3 possibilities(3,5,7) and second with 4 possibilities and so on

So \underline3 \times \underline4 \times \underline3 \times \underline2 \times \underline1=5 !=Q

\frac{P}{Q}=\frac{5 !}{3 \times 4 !} \Rightarrow \frac{5 \times 4 !}{3 \times 4!}=\frac53
