Answer: Yes it is a four-digit whole number.

Step-by-step explanation

We will fill in these 4 blanks with digits:

_ _ _ _

It is greater than 4000.

It is less than 5000.

Therefore its thousands digit is 4

4 _ _ _

Its tens digit is 3.

So we have

4 _ 3 _

The product of its hundreds digit and its ones digit is 0.

Therefore it is either 4 0 3 _ or 4 _ 3 0

It is not an even number.

That rules out 4 _ 3 0 for that is even regardless of the hundreds digit

So we have

4 0 3 _

The sum of its hundreds digit and its ones digit is 9.

Therefore its ones digit is 9.

And the number is

4 0 3 9

We did not need this:

Twice its tens digit is 2 more than its thousands digit.

But that is true because twice 3 is 6 which is 2 more than 4

We also did not need this:

The sum of its hundreds digit and two- thirds of its ones digit is 6.

But that is true because 2/3 of 9 is 6.

We also did not need this:

Its tens digit is 1 less than its thousands digit.

But that is true because 3 is 1 less than 4

So we were given more information than we need
