JEE MAIN - Mathematics (2023 - 1st February Evening Shift - No. 23)
The total number of six digit numbers, formed using the digits 4, 5, 9 only and divisible by 6, is ____________.
Answer
81
Explanation
A number will be divisible by 6 iff the digit at the unit place of the number is divisible by 2 and sum of all digits of the number is divisible by 3 .
Units, place must be occupied by 4 and hence, at least one 4 must be there.
Possible combination of 4, 5, 9 are as follows :
Total = 5 + 5 + 30 + 10 + 10 + 20 + 1 = 81.
Units, place must be occupied by 4 and hence, at least one 4 must be there.
Possible combination of 4, 5, 9 are as follows :
4 | 5 | 9 | Total number of Number |
---|---|---|---|
1 | 1 | 4 | $${{5!} \over {4!}} = 5$$ |
1 | 4 | 1 | $${{5!} \over {4!}} = 5$$ |
2 | 2 | 2 | $${{5!} \over {2!2!}} = 30$$ |
3 | 0 | 3 | $${{5!} \over {2!3!}} = 10$$ |
3 | 3 | 0 | $${{5!} \over {2!3!}} = 10$$ |
4 | 1 | 1 | $${{5!} \over {3!}} = 20$$ |
6 | 0 | 0 | $${{5!} \over {5!}} = 1$$ |
Total = 5 + 5 + 30 + 10 + 10 + 20 + 1 = 81.
