  2. B540
  3. C1296
  4. D1080

Correct answer

D. 1080

Step-by-step solution

First place can be filled by 5 choices (except 0 ) second and third can be filled by 6 choices. Now fourth place is filled such that it must be of form 3 k or 3 k+1 or 3 k+2 . So it can be fill by 2 choices ( 0 or 3 ) as whole number must be divisible by 3 so, total numbers aligned & =5 6 6 2 3 & =1080 aligned Hence, option (d) is correct
