    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 4.
    A 4/15 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 1/6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 2/5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 3/8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 1/4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Total numbers formed = 6! = 720
    For divisibility by 4, the last two digits of the number must form a number divisible by 4
    From digits 1–6, valid 2-digit endings divisible by 4 without repetition are: 12, 16, 24, 32, 36, 52, 56, 64 → total = 8 combinations
    For each, remaining 4 digits can be arranged in 4! = 24 ways
    Total such numbers = 8 × 24 = 192
    Required probability = 192/720 = 4/15
