Correct Answer: 96

Solution and Explanation

With no repetition, a number can have at most 5 digits. A number greater than 10,000 must therefore be a 5-digit number, which uses all of 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 exactly once. The first digit cannot be 0.
First digit: 4 choices (2, 4, 6, 8). The remaining 4 positions use the other 4 digits in \(4! = 24\) ways.
Count \(= 4 \times 24 = 96\). (Every such number is at least 20468, so it exceeds 10,000.)
