Explanation
Digits available: {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5} (total 6 digits). We need numbers > 2000 using digits at most once.
Case 1: 4-digit numbers > 2000 First digit can be 2, 3, 4, 5 (4 choices). Remaining 3 places chosen from remaining 5 digits: . Total 4-digit numbers = .
Case 2: 5-digit numbers First digit cannot be 0 (5 choices). Remaining 4 places: . Total 5-digit numbers = .
Case 3: 6-digit numbers First digit cannot be 0 (5 choices). Remaining 5 places: . Total 6-digit numbers = .
Total integers = .
