Explanation / Answer

4a) here for there are 12 area code ; for first digit of prefix 8 choice and for rest 10 choices ; for 4 ending digits 10 choices for each ; hence total phone numbers =12*8*10*10*10*10*10*10

=96000000

b)

here as area code is fixed therefore one choice for it ; for prefix 8 choice as 0,1 not allowed and all are same ; for ending digit 10; second 9; third 8 and for fourth 7 choices are there

total choices =1*8*10*9*8*7=40320
