Question

How many 3-digit natural numbers (without repetition of digits) are there such that each digit is odd and the number is divisible by 5?

The correct answer is

12

Calculation:

Number of 3-digit numbers without repeatition of digits in which each digit is odd and the number is divisible by 5.

We have odd numbers as 1, 3, 5, 7, 9

In 3-digit numbers we have three positions of digits i.e. units, tens and hundreds in which units digit will alwasy be 5 because number is divisible by 5.

For remaining two positions we have 4 numbers i.e. 1, 3, 7, 9. So, for arranging these numbers we use permutation as:

4 P2 = 4! / (4 - 2)! = (4 × 3 × 2 × 1) / (2 × 1) = 12

Hence, option 2 is correct.
