yes, even i am getting 670 /10000

for sum of first 2 digits=k , (k≤9)
first digit can be chosen in (k+1) ways
and 2nd digit in 1 way.
third digit again in (k+1) ways,
and 4th digit in 1 way = (k+1)2 ways

for sum =k (18≥k>9)
first digit can be chosen in (19-k) ways
and 2nd digit in 1 way.
third digit again in (19-k) ways,
and 4th digit in 1 way = (19-k)2 ways

hence summing up , favourable cases = 12+22 + .....+82 +92 +82+....12 = 670

hence probability = 670 /10000
