JEE MAIN - Mathematics (2022 - 30th June Morning Shift - No. 12)
Explanation
A number is multiple of 15 when the number is divisible by 5 and sum of digits of the number is divisible by 3.
Among 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 unit place is filled with 5 so it is multiple of 5.
Now to make it divisible by 3, take remaining 5 digits such a way that sum becomes divisible by 3.
Remaining 5 digits can be
(1) 1, 2, 3, 4, 6
Here sum = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 5 = 21 (divisible by 3)
This 5 digits can be filled in those 5 placed without repetition in 5 $$\times$$ 4 $$\times$$ 3 $$\times$$ 2 $$\times$$ 1 = 51 = 120 ways
(2) 2, 3, 4, 6, 7
Here sum = 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 7 + 5 = 27 (divisible by 3)
$$\therefore$$ Number of ways = 51 = 120
(3) 1, 2, 3, 6, 7
Here sum = 1 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 7 + 5 = 24 (divisible by 3)
$$\therefore$$ Number of ways = 51 = 120
$$\therefore$$ Total possible 6 digit numbers divisible by 15
= 120 + 120 + 120 = 360
