JEE MAIN - Mathematics (2023 - 30th January Morning Shift - No. 12)
Number of 4-digit numbers (the repetition of digits is allowed) which are made using the digits 1, 2, 3 and 5, and are divisible by 15, is equal to ___________.
Answer
21
Explanation
We have to make 4 digit numbers using the
digits, 1, 2, 3 and 5.
The unit digit of the 4 digit number will be 5.
Now, the sum (x + y + z) should be of the (3p + 1).
Therefore, the possible cases are
(x, y, z) = (1, 1, 5), (1, 1, 2), (2, 2, 3), (2, 3, 5), (3, 3, 1) and
(5, 5, 3).
So, total arrangements are
For $(1,1,5) \rightarrow \frac{3 !}{2 !}=3 ;$
For $(1,1,2) \rightarrow \frac{3 !}{2 !}=3 ;$
For $(2,2,3) \rightarrow \frac{3 !}{2 !}=3 ;$
For $(2,3,5) \rightarrow 3 !=6 ;$
For $(3,3,1) \rightarrow \frac{3 !}{2 !}=3 ;$
For $(5,5,3) \rightarrow \frac{3 !}{2 !}=3 ;$
So, total number of arrangements $=3+3+3+6+3+3=$ 21
