Question
A five-digit number is written down at raddom. The probability that the number is divisible by 5, and no two consecutive digits are identical, is:

Answer

  1. $\text{None of these}$
Solution:
If last digit is either O or 5 then the number is divisible by 5.
Case : 1
Last digit is 0.
First three places can be selected by 9 × 9 × 9 = 729 ways.
If c = 0 then three places can be selected by 9 × 8 × 1 = 72
If C ≠ 0 then 729 - 72 = 657
Fourth place has 8 choices = 657 × 8 = 5256
Total = 72 + 5256 = 5904
Case : 2
If C = 5
First place other than 5
then first three places can be filled in 8 × 8 × 1 = 64
If first place is 5 then first three places can be filled in 1× 9 × 1 = 9 ways.
If third place is other than 5 then 729 - 64 - 9 = 656 ways.
For fourth place has 8 choices.
As per required condition = (64 + 9) × 9 + 656 × 8 = 5905
required probability $=\frac{5904+5905}{9\times10\times10\times10\times10}=\frac{11809}{90000}$

Directions: In the following questions, the Assertions (A) and Reason(s) (R) have been put forward. Read both the statements carefully and choose the correct alternative from the following:
Assertion (A): Assertion (A):For an objective function Z= 15x + 20y, corner points are (0, 0), (10, 0), (0, 15) and (5, 5). Then optimal values are 300 and 0 respectively.
Reason (R): The maximum or minimum value of an objective function is known as optimal value of LPP. These values are obtained at corner points.
