How many three digit even numbers can be formed using the digits 1 2 3 4?

Ex 7.3, 3 (Method 1) How many 3-digit even numbers can be made using the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, if no digit is repeated? We need to find 3 digit even number using 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, Hence units place can have either 2, 4 or 6 Number of even numbers if 2 is at units place Hence these are 5 more digits left (1, 3, 4, 6, 7) for Hence n = 5 which we need to fill 2 place and r = 2 Number of 3 digit even number with 2 at unit place = nPr = 5P2 = 5!/((5 − 2)!) = 5!/3! = (5 × 4 × 3!)/3! = 20 Thus, Number of 3 digit even number with 2 at unit place = 20 Similarly Number of 3 digit can number with 4 at unit place = 20 and 6 at unit place = 20 Hence, Total 3-digit even numbers = 20 + 20 + 20 = 60 Ex 7.3, 3 (Method 2) How many 3-digit even numbers can be made using the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, if no digit is repeated? Let the 3 digit even number be Only 3 numbers are possible at units place (2 , 4 & 6) as we need even number. Number of 3 digit even numbers = 3 × 5 × 4 = 60

    Solution : total number of digits = 6
    The unit place can be filled with any one of the digits 2, 4, 6.
    So number of permutation = `3P_1` = 3
    Now, the tens and hundreds place can be filled by remaining 5 digits.
    So number of permutations =`5P_2`= 20
    Hence total number of permutations
    = 3×20
    =60.

    Ex 7.1, 2 How many 3 digit even numbers can be formed from the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 if the digits can be repeated? Let the 3 digit even number be Only 3 numbers are possible at units place (2 , 4 & 6) as we need even number. But at tens & hundreds place all 6 are possible Number of 3 digit even numbers = 3 × 6 × 6 = 108 Rough 158 is even as 8 is even 296 is even as 6 is even

    kingW3 answer is absolutely correct. I'm not debating on his answer, just answering in the way the question has been asked.

    1. Selecting either 2 or 4 from the Set for the unit place as the no. should be even: 2C1

    2. Selecting the digit from the left over digits for the tens place: 4C1

    3. Selecting the digit from the left over digits for the hundreds place: 3C1

    Therefore we get, 3C1 x 4C1 x 2C1 = 24

    The thing you have done 5C1 x 4C1 x 3C1 would have been correct if you were asked to make any 3 digits no from the given set without repeating.

    How many 3

    Thus, by multiplication principle, the required number of 3-digit numbers is 3×20=60.

    How many 3

    Thus, 3-digit even number can be formed in 108 ways.

    How many 3

    So, number of ways in which three digit even numbers can be formed from the given digits is 6×6×3=108.

    How many 3

    so , ans=3*5*4=60. Q.
