Let a b c d e abcde be the required integer (where, a , b , c , d a n d e a,b,c,d~and~e are digits).

It can be seen that: a { 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 } b , c , d { 0 , 1 , 2 , , 9 } e { 0 , 2 , 4 , 6 , 8 } \begin{array}{c}& a\in \{2,3,4,5,6\} \\ b,c,d\in \{0,1,2,\cdots,9\}\\ e\in \{0,2,4,6,8\}\end{array}

We can have two disjoint cases:

Case 1: If a a is a even digit then, a a has 3 3 possibilities and e e has 4 4 possibilities and the remaining digits have ( 8 3 ) 3 ! \binom{8}{3}\cdot 3! possibilities. So, total number of such even numbers possible are 3 × 4 × ( 8 3 ) 3 ! = 4032 \displaystyle 3\times 4\times \binom{8}{3}\cdot 3!=4032

Case 2: If a a is a odd digit then, a a has 2 2 possibilities and e e has 5 5 possibilities and the remaining digits have ( 8 3 ) 3 ! \binom{8}{3}\cdot 3! possibilities. So, total number of such even numbers possible are 2 × 5 × ( 8 3 ) 3 ! = 3360 \displaystyle 2\times 5\times \binom{8}{3}\cdot 3!=3360

Thus, the total number of even numbers between 20000 a n d 70000 20000~and~70000 are 4032 + 3360 = 7392 4032+3360=\boxed{7392} in number.

If the first digit is 2 , 4 , 6 2,4,6 ,then the last digit has 4 4 possibilities,

If the first digit is 3 , 5 3,5 ,then the last digit has 5 5 possibilities.

The other three digits has 8 × 7 × 6 8\times7\times6 possibilities.

Hence,there are ( 4 + 5 + 4 + 5 + 4 ) × 8 × 7 × 6 = 7392 (4+5+4+5+4)\times8\times7\times6=7392 possibilities.
