Numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
Numbers having string (154) = (154), 2, 3, 6, 7 = 5!
Numbers having string (2467) = (2467), 1,3, 5 = 4!
Number having string (154) and (2467)
= (154), (2467) = 2!
Now n (154 \cup 2467) = 5! + 4! – 2!
= 120 + 24 – 2 = 142
Again total numbers = 7! = 5040
Now required numbers = n (neither 154 nor 2467)
= 5040 – 142
= 4898
