Mathematics Question on permutations and combinations
How many four digit numbers abcd exist such that a is odd, b is divisible by 3, c is even and d is prime?
A
380
B
360
C
400
D
520
Answer
400
Explanation
Solution
We know that, the odd numbers are
1,3,5,7,9
∴n(a)=5
Divisible by 3 are 0,3,6,9,n(b)=4
Even numbers are 0,2,4,6,8,n(c)=5
and prime numbers are 2,3,5,7,n(d)=4
∴ Four-digit numbers abcd exist
=5⋅4⋅5⋅4
=400
