Find the number of 4-digit numbers that can be formed using the digits 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5 if no digit is repeated. How many of these will be even?
Answers
total digits = 5
_ _ _ _ is a four digit number
at units place we have 5 options (we can write 1,2,3,4 or 5 say 5)
at tens place we have 4 options( we can write 1,2,3 or 4 but not 5 since repetition not allowed)
similarly at hundredth and thousand place we have 3 and 2 options respectively
hence total 4 digit numbers formed = 5*4*3*2 = 120
now for number to be even the units place digit should be 2 or 4
so fix the units place number
case 1: let the units place number be 2
so for tens place we have 4 options(1,3,4 and 5) similarly because repetition is not allowed, for hundredth and thousandth place we have 3 and 2 options respectively
hence total 4 digit numbers with units place 2 i.e. even numbers = 4*3*2 = 24
case 2: now let the units place number be 4
so for tens place we have 4 options(1,2,3 and 5) similarly because repetition is not allowed, for hundredth and thousandth place we have 3 and 2 options respectively
hence total 4 digit numbers with units place 4 i.e. even numbers = 4*3*2 = 24
total 4 digit even numbers = 24 + 24 = 48
