The total number of 5 -digit numbers, formed by using the digits 1 , 2 , 3 , 5 , 6 , 7 without repetition,…

The total number of 5-digit numbers, formed by using the digits 1,2,3,5,6,7 without repetition, which are multiple of 6, is
  1. 72
  2. 48
  3. 24
  4. 60

Solution

Given set 1,2,3,5,6,7

Here sum is 1+2+3+5+6+7 =24

So there will be two cases

Case (i) When numbers are 1,2,5,6,7

Arrangement will be _ _ _ _ 2 & _ _ _ _ 6

In unit place 2 & 6 can take place because for multiple of 6 number should be even & sum of digits should be multiple of 3.

So total way in which remaining number can be taken will be 4!×2 =48 ways

Case (ii) When numbers are  1,2,3,5,7

Arrangement will be _ _ _ _ 2 

So total way in which remaining number can be taken will be 4!=24 ways

Adding case (i) & case (ii), we get

required 5-digit numbers =24+48=72
