To be divisible by 4 , last 2 digits of the 5 digit no. should be divisible by 4.
So possibilities are 12,16,32,64,24,36,52,56 which are 8 in number.
Remaining 3 digits out of 4 can be selected in ways and further can be arranged in 3! ways .
So in total = 8*4*6 = 192

Let n be the number of different five-digit numbers, divisible by 4 wi...
Understanding the Problem
To find the number of different five-digit numbers that can be formed using the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, and are divisible by 4, we need to focus on two main points:
- The last two digits of the number must form a number that is divisible by 4.
- All digits must be unique, drawn from the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.
Divisibility Rule for 4
A number is divisible by 4 if the number formed by its last two digits is divisible by 4. We will first list all the valid two-digit combinations from the given digits:
- Valid pairs: 12, 16, 24, 32, 36, 52, 56, 64
These pairs (12, 16, 24, 32, 36, 52, 56, 64) must be examined to ensure they can be formed from our digit set without repetition.
Counting Valid Combinations
1. Count Valid Pairs:
- From the above pairs, we have 8 valid combinations: 12, 16, 24, 32, 36, 52, 56, 64.
2. Calculate Remaining Digits:
- For each valid pair, there are 4 remaining digits to choose for the first three positions.
3. Arrangements for First Three Digits:
- Each of the 4 remaining digits can be arranged in 3! (6) ways.
Calculating Total Combinations
- For each of the 8 valid pairs, we can form:
- 4 remaining digits × 6 arrangements = 24 combinations.
- Thus, the total number of five-digit numbers is:
- 8 pairs × 24 combinations = 192.
Conclusion
The total number of different five-digit numbers that can be formed is:
- n = 192
Thus, the answer is option C: 192.

An autobiographical numbers are special types of numbers whose structure describes itself. Each of the autobiographical numbers digit indicates how many times the digit corresponding to that position occurs within the number. The first digit from the left indicates the quantity of zeroes in the number. The second digit indicates the number of 1s, the third digit indicates the number of 2s and so on until the end. 1210 is one such 4 digit autobiographical number and 3211000 is another 7 digit autobiographical number.It so happens that there is only one 10 digit auto-biographical number such that-1. The number has 10 digits.2. The first digit from the left indicates the number of zeroes in the number.3. For position n from the beginning, the digit represents the number of times the number n-1 occurs in the number.Q. How many times was the digit 0 repeated in the number? Correct answer is '6'. Can you explain this answer?

Directions: Study the given information and answer the following question.A car servicing company has ten LED boards which are fitted on a wall. Each of them displays the digits from 0-9. They are programmed in such a way that when any car enters the workshop for service, the registration number on the cars number plate will appear on the wall as the digits on the wall-mounted LED boards shall glow to show a 4-digit number. On Monday, 4 cars of different colours, i.e. red, white, black and grey, entered the workshop. Due to faulty software, the only thing that got noted down was the number of times each LED board glowed in total after the 4 cars entered. Hence, the following data was collected.Further, software provided the following data:(1) The registration number of each car has a factor 5.(2) Except the white car, all the other cars have at least three different digits.(3) The registration number of black car has the highest value numerically.(4) The registration number of red car has four different digits, three of which are not present in the registration numbers of any of the other 3 cars.(5) The difference between the registration numbers of red car and grey car has a maximum value of 600 and a minimum value of 500.(6) The registration number of white car is exactly a factor of the registration number of black car.(7) The sum of the digits of registration number of white car is 8.What is the registration number of white car? Correct answer is '1115'. Can you explain this answer?

Darren Puppet, the richest person in the world, has ensured extra security for his files. He implements a security based on division algorithms in his passwords. The passwords contain n digits such that :I. It contains all digits from 1 to n, and all of them are used exactly once.II. The number formed by the first two digits is divisible by 2, the number formed by the first 3 digits is divisible by 3, and so on such that the n digit password is divisible by n. (For example, 123 is such a 3 digit password, 12 is divisible by 2 and 123 by 3).To remember which password he is using, Darren ranks all the passwords having certain number of digits in increasing order and hence by just knowing the number of digits and the rank, he is able to correctly enter the password. (For example, for 3 digits passwords, 123 has rank 1 and 321 has rank 2)It is known that he uses 6 digit passwords for leisure files, which are his most important files.Q. How many five digit passwords can he use? Correct answer is '0'. Can you explain this answer?
