A seven digit number is formed using digits 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5. The probability, that number so formed is divisible by 2, is :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
- Total number of distinct 7-digit numbers
We form a 7-digit number using the multiset of digits:
The total number of distinct arrangements is:
- Condition for divisibility by 2
A number is divisible by if its last digit is even.
Among the given digits, the only even digit is . So the number must end in .
- Count numbers ending in 4
Fix one in the last place. The remaining 6 digits are:
The number of distinct arrangements of these 6 digits is:
- Required probability
Hence,
- Option check
corresponds to Option D.
Therefore, the required probability is:
