No. of 5-digit numbers starting with digit 2 =54=625

No. of 5-digit numbers starting with 31 =5×5×5=125

No. of 5-digit numbers starting with 32 =5×5×5=125

No. of 5-digit numbers starting with 33 =5×5×5=125

No. of 5-digit numbers starting with 351 =5×5=25

No. of 5-digit numbers starting with 352 =5×5=25

No. of 5-digit numbers starting with 3531 =5

No. of 5-digit numbers starting with 3532 =5

Before 35337, there will be 4 numbers, so the rank of 35337 will be 1690.
