Let ABCDEFGHIJK be an 8-digit number.

Given that the first two digits of each number are 9 and 0.

As a result, the answer is 90CDEFGH.

Because repetition is not permitted and 9 and 0 are already taken, the digits available for place C are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, i.e. eight possible digits.

If one of them is taken at C, the number of digits available at D is now 7.

If one of them is taken at D, the number of digits available at E is now 6.

If one of them is taken at E, the number of digits available at F is now 5.

If one of them is taken at F, the number of digits available at G is now 4.

Similarly, at H, the possible digit is 3.

Thus,

8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3=20160

Therefore, the total number of 6-digit numbers formed with given conditions is 20160.
