Let A denote the event that a 6-digit integer formed by 0,1,2,3,4,5,6 without repetitions, be divisible by 3 . Then probability of event A is equal to :
  1. 956
  2. 49
  3. 37
  4. 1127

Solution

Total cases : 6·6·5·4·3·2

ns=6·6 !

Favourable cases :

Number divisible by 3 Sum of digits must be divisible by 3

Case-I

1,2,3,4,5,6

Number of ways =6 !

Case-II

0,1,2,4,5,6

Number of ways =5·5 !

Case-III

0,1,2,3,4,5

Number of ways =5·5 !

n( favourable )=6 !+2·5·5 !

P=6 !+2·5·5 !6·6 !=49
