Correct answer: C
- Digits available
We have the digits:
We need to form five-digit numbers such that:
- the number is greater than ,
- the number is divisible by ,
- no repetition of digits is allowed.
- Condition for divisibility by 5
A number is divisible by if its last digit is either or .
So we consider two cases:
- Case 1: last digit
- Case 2: last digit
Also, since the number must be greater than , the first digit must be one of: (we cannot use since it is not available, and would make the number less than ).
- Case 1: Last digit is
Form:
The first digit must be chosen from , so there are:
After choosing the first digit, we must fill the middle three places using any of the remaining digits.
Number of ways:
So total for Case 1:
- Case 2: Last digit is
Form:
Now the first digit must again make the number greater than . Possible first digits are from .
Why not ? Because is already used in the last place and repetition is not allowed. So first digit choices:
After fixing the first and last digits, we have remaining digits, out of which we fill the middle three places:
So total for Case 2:
- Total count
- Compare with options
The required number is:
So the correct option is:
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer: C
Our derived answer is also C.
