A five-digit number divisible by 3 is to be formedusing the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, without repetition. The total numberof ways this can done isA. 216B. 600C. 240D. 3125

Answer» Correct Answer - A
we know that, a number is divisible by 3, when sum of digits in the number must be divisible by 3.
So, if we consider the digits 0, 1, 2, 4, 5, then ( 0 + 1 + 2 + 4 + 5) = 12)
We see that, sum is divisible by 3. Therefore, five-digit numbers using the digit
`0, 1, 2, 4, 5 = 4 xx 4 xx 3 xx 2 xx 1 = 96`
`{:(4, 4, 3, 2, 1):}`
and if we consider the digit 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, then `(1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15)`
This sum is also divisible by 3.
So, five - digit number can be formed using the digit 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 is `5"!"` ways.
Total number of ways `= 96 + 5"!" = 96 + 120 = 216`
