    Question

    A 6-digit number is formed using the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

    and 6. If each digit can be used only once, then find the probability that the number formed will be divisible by 5.
    A 1/2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 1/3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 1/6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 1/5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 1/4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Total numbers formed = 6! = 720
    Since the number is divisible by 5, therefore, at unit place only 5 can come and remaining digits can be arranged in 5! = 120 ways
    Total such numbers formed = 120 Γ— 1 = 120
    Required probability = 120/720 = 1/6
