A five digit number is formed using the digits 0,1,2,3,4 and 5 without repetition. The probability that number is divisible by 6?
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%
