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 :

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.
