Q. What is the total number of even non-negative integers that can be formed by using the digits 0, 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9, where repetition of digits isnotallowed?
Ans :
Number of 1-digit even numbers = 0
Number of 2-digit even numbers = 5×1 = 5
Number of 3-digit even numbers = 5×4×1 = 20
Number of 4-digit even numbers = 5×4×3×1 = 60
Number of 5-digit even numbers = 5×4×3×2×1 = 120
Number of 6-digit even numbers = 5×4×3×2×1×1 = 120
Note:Here, the units place digit is always occupied by 0.
Total number of even non-negative integers that can be formed by using digits 0, 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9, where repetition of digits is not allowed = 0 + 5 + 20 + 60 + 120 + 120 = 325
The correct answer is given by option A.
AS UNDERLINED ABOVE,0 IS AN EVEN NON NEGATIVE INTEGER.WHY AREN'T WE CONSIDERING IT
