MCQ
A 5-digit number divisible by 3 is to be formed using the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 without repetition. The total number of ways in which this can be done is:
  • 216
  • B
    600
  • C
    240
  • D
    3125

Answer

Correct option: A.
216
A number is divisible by 3 when the sum of the digits of the number is divisible by 3. Out of the given 6 digits, there are only two groups consisting of 5 digits whose sum is divisible by 3.
= 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15
= 0 + 1 + 2 + 4 + 5 = 12
Using the digits 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, the 5 digit numbers that can be formed = 5! Similarly, using the digits 0, 1, 2, 4 and 5, the number that can be formed = 5! - 4! {since the first digit cannot be 0}
$\therefore$ Total numbers that are possible = 5! + 5! - 4! = 240 - 24 = 216
