Q32 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (16 Mar Shift 2) · Mathematics

Let A denote the event that a 6-digit integer formed by 0,1,2,3,4,5,6 without repetitions, be divisible by 3 . Then probability of event A is equal to :

  • A
    956
  • Correct answer
    B
    49
  • C
    37
  • D
    1127

Solution

Total cases : 6·6·5·4·3·2

ns=6·6 !

Favourable cases :

Number divisible by 3≡ Sum of digits must be divisible by 3

Case-I

1,2,3,4,5,6

Number of ways =6 !

Case-II

0,1,2,4,5,6

Number of ways =5·5 !

Case-III

0,1,2,3,4,5

Number of ways =5·5 !

n( favourable )=6 !+2·5·5 !

P=6 !+2·5·5 !6·6 !=49

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
