It is given that the 5-digit telephone numbers always start with 67.

Therefore, there will be as many phone numbers as there are ways of filling 3 vacant places 6,7, _, _, _ by the digits 0 – 9, keeping in mind that the digits cannot be repeated. The units place can be filled by any of the digits from 0 – 9, except digits 6 and 7.

Therefore, the units place can be filled in 8 different ways following which, the tens place can be filled in by any of the remaining 7 digits in 7 different ways, and the hundreds place can be filled in by any of the remaining 6 digits in 6 different ways. 

Therefore, by multiplication principle, the required number of ways in which 5-digit telephone numbers can be constructed is 8 × 7 × 6 = 336
