How many 3-digit numbers can be formed from the digits 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 9, which are divisible by 5 and none of the digits is repeated?

A 5

B 10

C 15

D 20

Correct Answer: Option D

Since each desired number is divisible by 5, so we must have 5 at the unit place.

So, there is 1 way of doing it.

The tens place can now be filled by any of the remaining 5 digits (2, 3, 6, 7, 9).

So, there are 5 ways of filling the tens place.

The hundreds place can now be filled by any of the remaining 4 digits.

So, there are 4 ways of filling it.

So, Required number of numbers = (1 x 5 x 4) = 20.
