Total number of 6- digit numbers in which only and all the five digits 1,3,5,7 and 9 appears, is
  1. 126!
  2. 6!
  3. 56
  4. 526!

Solution

As we have to make a six-digit number by using all the digits 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, hence exactly one of the digits is repeating.

For the digit to repeat we have 5C1=5 choices.
And, six digits in which one is repeating can be arranged in 6!2! ways.
Hence, total such numbers =5×6!2!=526!.
