Correct option is A
Given:
Digits available: 1,2,3,4,6,71, 2, 3, 4, 6, 71,2,3,4,6,7
We need to form 3-digit even numbers without repeating the digits.
Key Points:
- A 3-digit even number must end with an even digit.
- From the given digits, the even digits are 2,4,62, 4, 62,4,6.
Steps to Solve:
Choose the last digit:
Since the number must be even, the last digit can only be one of 2,4,62, 4, 62,4,6.
There are 3 choices for the last digit.Choose the first digit:
After selecting the last digit, 5 digits remain, from which we can choose any digit for the first position (excluding the already chosen last digit).
There are 5 choices for the first digit.Choose the second digit:
After selecting the first and last digits, 4 digits remain.
There are 4 choices for the second digit.Calculate total combinations:
Total numbers=3×5×4=60\text{Total numbers} = 3 \times 5 \times 4 = 60Total numbers=3×5×4=60
Multiply the choices:
Final Answer:
The total number of 3-digit even numbers that can be formed is 60.
