14.Probability
medium
A five digit number is formed by writing the digits $1, 2, 3, 4, 5$ in a random order without repetitions. Then the probability that the number is divisible by $4$ is
A
$\frac{3}{5}$
B
$\frac{{18}}{5}$
C
$\frac{1}{5}$
D
$\frac{6}{5}$
Solution
(c) The number is divisible by $4$ if last two digits are $12, 24, 32$ and $52$. Remaining three places can be filled by $3!$ ways.
$\therefore $ Favouable cases = $3\,!\,\, \times \,\,4$
Required probability = $\frac{{3\,!\,\, \times 4}}{{5!}} = \frac{1}{5}$.
