Let ABCDE be a five-digit number.

Given that the first two digits of each number are 6 and 7.

So, the number is 67CDE.

As repetition is not allowed and 6 and 7 are already taken, the digits available for place C are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, i.e. eight possible digits.

Suppose one of them is taken at C, now the digits possible at place D is 7.

Similarly, at E, the possible digit is 6.

Therefore, the total five-digit numbers with given conditions = 8 × 7 × 6 = 336.
