For a number to be divisible by 5, the last digit should either be 5 or 0. 

In this case, 5 is only possible. 

For a four digit number to be between 3000 to 4000, in this case, should start with 3. 

Therefore, the other 2 digits can be arranged by 4 numbers in P(4,2) 

Formula: 

Number of permutations of n distinct objects among r different places, where repetition is not allowed, is 

P(n,r) = n!/(n-r)! 

Therefore, a permutation of 4 different objects in 2 places is 

P(4,2) =  \(\frac{4!}{(4-2)!}\) 

= \(\frac{4!}{2!}\) = \(\frac{24}{2}\) =12. 

Therefore, there are 12 numbers present between 3000 to 4000 formed by using numbers 3,1,5,6,7,8.
