Explanation

Since it is a 4 digit number, first digit cannot be 0. Case 1: (When 0's are at 3rd and 4th place) Possible cases are (7,1), (6,2), (5,3), (4,4), (3,5), (2,6), (1.7), i.e. there are 7 possible cases. Similar cases are possible for CASE 2: (When 0's lie at 2nd and 3rd place). Similarly, there are 7 possible cases for CASE3 (When 0's lie at 2nd and 4th place). Total number of cases is 21. Hence, this is the correct option.
