Question Number 50008 by rahul 19 last updated on 13/Dec/18

5−digit number divisible by 3 formed  using 0,1,2,3,4,5 without repetition.  Total number of such no.s is ?

5−digit number be like :   −_(5ways)  −_(5ways)  −_(4ways)  −_(3ways)  −_   Now the sum of starting 4 digit can  be of form 3k,3k+1,3k+2.  if 3k:then last digit can be 0,3  if 3k+1:then last digit can be 2,5  if 3k+2:then last digit can be 1,4.  Hence 2 ways for last digit.  ∴ No. of ways = 5×5×4×3×2=600  Mrw sir, pl tell the cases which i   overcount...i have did like Q.49408.  Sir, i think this method   is  applicable only when repetition  is allowed,right?

you can not apply this method if  no repetition is allowed.

e.g. if the 4−digit number is 1230,  or 2301 etc., with the remaining 4 and  5 you can not build a/suitable  number.  if the 4−digit number is 1234, or 3421  etc., with the remaining 0 and 5 you  can only build one suitable number,  not two as you took. i.e. from the  300 4−digit numbers you build,  many of them are invalid, from each of  the others you can only form one  suitable number. therefore the total number  must be less than 300.

to form suitable numbers we can use  either digits 1/2/3/4/5 or 0/1/2/4/5.  ⇒total number of such numbers is  5!+4×4!=216

$${to}\:{form}\:{suitable}\:{numbers}\:{we}\:{can}\:{use} \\ $$$${either}\:{digits}\:\mathrm{1}/\mathrm{2}/\mathrm{3}/\mathrm{4}/\mathrm{5}\:{or}\:\mathrm{0}/\mathrm{1}/\mathrm{2}/\mathrm{4}/\mathrm{5}. \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{total}\:{number}\:{of}\:{such}\:{numbers}\:{is} \\ $$$$\mathrm{5}!+\mathrm{4}×\mathrm{4}!=\mathrm{216} \\ $$

a number is divisible by 3 when the  sum of its digits is divisible by 3.  therefore from the six given digits  0 to 5, we must select 5 digits whose  sum is divisible by 3, there are only  two possibilities:  either 1/2/3/4/5 or 0/1/2/4/5.

$${a}\:{number}\:{is}\:{divisible}\:{by}\:\mathrm{3}\:{when}\:{the} \\ $$$${sum}\:{of}\:{its}\:{digits}\:{is}\:{divisible}\:{by}\:\mathrm{3}. \\ $$$${therefore}\:{from}\:{the}\:{six}\:{given}\:{digits} \\ $$$$\mathrm{0}\:{to}\:\mathrm{5},\:{we}\:{must}\:{select}\:\mathrm{5}\:{digits}\:{whose} \\ $$$${sum}\:{is}\:{divisible}\:{by}\:\mathrm{3},\:{there}\:{are}\:{only} \\ $$$${two}\:{possibilities}: \\ $$$${either}\:\mathrm{1}/\mathrm{2}/\mathrm{3}/\mathrm{4}/\mathrm{5}\:{or}\:\mathrm{0}/\mathrm{1}/\mathrm{2}/\mathrm{4}/\mathrm{5}. \\ $$
