Solution

The correct option is B. 18%

Given digits are 0,1,2,3,4 and 5

For a number to be divisible by 6 it should be divisible by 2 as well as 3.

For divisibility by 2, last digit should be either 2 or 4.

For divisibility by 3, two cases are suitable:

Case 1:

Discarding '0'

Total Cases: 2 ×4!=48

Case 2:

Discarding '3'

Total cases: 4!+2×3 ×3!

Total favourabel cases: 3 × 4!+2 × 3 ×3!=18 × 3!=108

Sample Space: 5 × 5!

P(E)=108(5× 5!)× 100=108(5× 120)× 100=18%
