Q87 / 180 · KCET 2019 · Mathematics

The number of \( 4 \) digit numbers without repetition that can be formed using the digits \( 1,2,3,4 \),
\( 5,6,7 \) in which each number has two odd digits and two even digits is

  • A
    \( 436 \)
  • B
    \( 454 \)
  • Correct answer
    C
    \( 432 \)
  • D
    \( 450 \)

Solution

(C)
Given digits are \( 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 \).
Two even digits can be selected in \( { }^{3} C_{2} \)
Two odd digits can be selected in \( { }^{4} C_{2} \) ways.
These selected \( 4 \) digits can be arranged in \( 4 ! \) ways.
\( \therefore \) Total number of ways \( ={ }^{4} C_{2}{ }^{3} C_{2}{ }_{2} ! \)
\( =6 \times 3 \times 24 \)
\( =18 \times 24 \)
\( =432 \)

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