Options

A.4
B.5
C.7
D.8

Solution

Let required numbers are in form x y z uv
such that x < y < z < u < v
clearly    x ≠ 0
Number starting with 1
remaining 4 place can be filled by 8C4 = 70 (from 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
Number starting with 2
remaining 4 places can be filled by 7C4 = 35
∴  97th  number will be start with 2
now number starting with 23
remaining 3 places can be filled by 6C3 = 20 ways
number starting with 24
Remaining 3 places can be filled by 5C3 = 10 ways
∴ 97Th  number will start with 24
Now number starting with 245
Remaining places can be filled by 4C2 = 6 ways
∴  97th number started with 246 clearly it can not have the digit 5 as x < y < z < u < v
