  • Question
  • How many numbers can be formed from 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ( without repetition), when the digit at the unit's place must be greater than that in the ten's place?


  • Options
  • A. 54
  • B. 60
  • C. 51/3
  • D. 2 x 4!

  • Correct Answer
  • 60 

    Explanation

    The digit in the unit's place should be greater than that in the tens' place.
    Hence, if digit 5 occupies the unit place, then remaining four digits need not to follow any order,hence required number = 4!
    However, if digit 4 occupies the unit place then 5 cannot occupy the ten;s position. Hence, digit at the ten's place and it will be filled by the digit 1, 2 or 3. This can happen in 3 ways. The remaining 3 digit can be filled in the remaining three place in 3! ways.
    Hence, in all, we have (3 x 3!) numbers ending in 4. Similarly, if we have 3 in the unit's place and it will be either 1 or 2. this can happen in 2 ways. Hence, we will have (2 x 3! ) number ending in 3 . Similarly, we can find that there will be 3! numbers ending in 2 and no number with 1. Hence, total number of numbers
    = 4! + (3) x 3! + (2 x 3!) + 3!
    = 4! + 6 x 3! = 24 + (6 x 6) = 60
