let length = 2x and breadth = x then
(2x-5) (x+5) = (2x * x)+75
5x-25 = 75 => x=20
length of the rectangle = 40 cm

The smallest number in the series is 1000, a 4-digit number.

The largest number in the series is 4000, the only 4-digit number to start with 4. 

The left most digit (thousands place) of each of the 4 digit numbers other than 4000 can take one of the 3 values 1 or 2 or 3.

The next 3 digits (hundreds, tens and units place) can take any of the 5 values 0 or 1 or 2 or 3 or 4.

Hence, there are 3 x 5 x 5 x 5 or 375 numbers from 1000 to 3999.

Including 4000, there will be 376 such numbers.
