Total number of 6−6 - digit numbers in which only and all the five digits 1,3,5,71, 3, 5, 7 and 99 appears, is

Options

  1. A12(6!)\dfrac{1}{2}\left(6 !\right)
  2. B6!6 !
  3. C56{5}^{6}
  4. D52(6!)\dfrac{5}{2}\left(6 !\right)

Correct answer

D. 52(6!)\dfrac{5}{2}\left(6 !\right)

Step-by-step solution

As we have to make a six-digit number by using all the digits 1,3,5,7,9,1, 3, 5, 7, 9, hence exactly one of the digits is repeating.

For the digit to repeat we have 5C1=5{}^{5}{C}_{1} = 5 choices.
And, six digits in which one is repeating can be arranged in 6!2!\dfrac{6 !}{2 !} ways.
Hence, total such numbers =5×6!2!=52(6!).= 5 \times \dfrac{6 !}{2 !} = \dfrac{5}{2}\left(6 !\right) .
