MCQ

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:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{5}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{5}\big(\frac{9}{10}\big)^3$
  • C
    $\big(\frac{3}{5}\big)^4$
  • D
    $\text{None of these}$

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 $=\frac{5904+5905}{9\times10\times10\times10\times10}=\frac{11809}{90000}$
