A five digit number is formed by the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 with no digit being repeated. The probability that the number is divisible by 4, is
  1. 15
  2. 56
  3. 45
  4. 16

Solution

No. of five digit numbers formed using the given digits =5!

We know that,

A number is divisible by 4 if it's last two digits are divisible by 4

Thus, the numbers should be of the form    1 2,    2 4,     3 2,     5 2

No. of such numbers =4×3!

Required probability =4×3!5!=15
