Among the 4-digit numbers that can be formed using the digits $1,2,3,4,5,6$ without repeating any digit, the number of numbers which are divisible by 6 is
- Correct answerA60
- B66
- C52
- D57
Solution
Since number divisible by 6 i.e. divisible by 2 and 3 .
For divisible by 2 units place of number contains $2,4,6$. For divisible by 3 , the sum of digits is divisible by 3 .
Case I: If units place is 2 .
Then rest 3 digits may be $(1,4,5),(1,3,6),(3,4,6)$
$\therefore$ Number of number with units place $2=3.3!=18$
Case II : If units place is 4
Then rest 3 digits may be $(1,2,5),(2,3,6),(3,5,6)$
$\therefore$ Number of number with units place $4=3.3!=18$
Case III : If units place is 6
Then rest 3 digits may be $(1,2,3),(2,3,4),(3,4,5)$ and
$(1,3,5)=4.3!=24$
Total number divisible by $6=18+18+24=60$.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
