Correct answer: A
- Forming a 6-digit number
We form a 6-digit integer using digits from without repetition.
Since there are 7 digits available and the number must have 6 digits, exactly one digit is omitted.
Also, the first digit cannot be .
- Total number of 6-digit integers
We count all 6-digit numbers formed from without repetition.
- Total permutations of 6 digits chosen from 7 digits:
- But this includes arrangements starting with .
Count those starting with :
- Fix first digit as .
- Arrange remaining 5 places using any 5 of the remaining 6 digits:
Hence total valid 6-digit integers:
- Condition for divisibility by 3
A number is divisible by if the sum of its digits is divisible by .
Sum of all digits is
If one digit is omitted, then the sum of digits of the 6-digit number is
For divisibility by : Since , this requires
Among , the digits divisible by are:
So favorable cases occur when the omitted digit is one of .
- Count favorable numbers casewise
Case 1: Omit
Then digits used are . All are nonzero, so every arrangement gives a valid 6-digit number.
Number of such numbers:
Case 2: Omit
Then digits used are . Total arrangements: Invalid ones starting with : So valid numbers:
Case 3: Omit
Then digits used are . Similarly, valid numbers:
Thus total favorable numbers:
- Required probability
Simplify:
- Check options
- A: ✔
- B: ✘
- C: ✘
- D: ✘
So the correct option is A.
