How many 3 - digit numbers can be formed from the digits 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 9, which are divisible by 5 and none of the digits is repeated?
How many 3 - digit numbers can be formed from the digits 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 9, which are divisible by 5 and none of the digits is repeated? Correct Answer 20
Given:
Digits = 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 9
Concept used:
Divisibility rule of 5:
The number is divided by 5, if the unit digit of a number is either 5 or 0.
Calculation:
Unit digit can only be 5.
There is only 1 possible way to fill unit place.
Remaining places can be filled by 2, 3, 6, 7 or 9.
There is 5 possible ways to fill ten's place.
There is 4 possible ways to fill hundredth place as digits cannot be repeated.
Total numbers that can be formed = 1 × 5 × 4 = 20
∴ 3 - digit numbers can be formed from the digits 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 9 is 20.
