Answer: 3125


Explanation:

Given: A fair sortition trial is carried out, and one of the candidates is assigned the number = 32,041

If each digit can be chosen from 0-4, and if each of the possible sequences is assigned to a candidate, then the number of candidates (repetition of digits allowed)=
5*5*5*5*5


=3125

Hence, the number of candidates there are = 3125.
