      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 2.
      A 1/3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 1/4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 1/5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 1/2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Total numbers formed = 6! = 720
      To be divisible by 2, the unit digit must be even β†’ 2, 4 or 6
      Fix unit digit as 2 β†’ remaining 5 digits can be arranged in 5! = 120 ways
      Same for unit digit 4 β†’ 5! = 120
      Same for 6 β†’ 5! = 120
      Total such numbers = 3 Γ— 120 = 360
      Required probability = 360/720 = 1/2
