Solution

Dear student
Three digit even numbers are to be formed using the given 5 digits 1,2,3,4 and 6without repeating the digits.Then, units digits can be filled in 3 ways by any of the digits 2,4 or 6.Since the digits cannot be repeated in the three digit numbers and units place is already occupied with a digit(which is even), the hundreds and tens place is to be filled by the remaining 4 digitsSo, the number of ways in which hundreds and tens place can be filled with the remaining 4 digitsis the permutation of4 different digits taken 2 at a time.number of ways of filling hundreds and tens place=4P2=4!4-2!=12Thus by multiplication principle, the required number of three digit number is=3×12=36
