Answer = 0;
---------Explanation------
It can be done using Factorial :-
As we need without repetition. So same digit can't be used twice.
S=6*5*4*3*2*1 = 6!
R=6*5*4*3*2 = 6!
So , S - R = 0

There are 8 numbers divisible by 4.
numbers ends with xyzq12
xyzq16
xyzq24
xyzq32
xyzq36
xyzq52
xyzq56
xyzq64
Still four places are there for xyzq, so 4! possible(without repetition). Totally 8 number, ultimately 4!*8=192.
3!*8=48.
192-48=144.
Final answer is 144.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that "both the 5 & 6 digit numbers should be divisible by 4". I think answer will still be 0.
Thanks Utkarsh.

6-digit nos. using 1,2,3,4,5,6 without repetition =6!=720
5-digit nos. using 1,2,3,4,5,6 without repetition =6p5=720
so, S-R=0

s=6*5*4*3*2*1
r=6*5*4*3*2
hence:s-r=0

Wali ,if question says numbers must be divisible by 4 then,
S=4! x 8
R=3! x 8 so, S-R=192-48=144

S= 6!
R=6P5
S-R=6!-6!=0

vikash agrawal  (5 years ago)

the answer will be 0 as the total number can be formed with the digits 1,2,3,4,5,6 is 6! and the total number formed by digits 1,2,3,4,5,6 is also 6*5*4*3*2 so S-R=0

answer=0
first we check for S:
it is a 6 digit number __ __ __ __ __ __ , so first position will have 6 possibilities
second position has 5 possibilities as repetition not allowed
third possition has 4 possibilities and so on...
S=6*5*4*3*2*1=720
similarly we can check for R:
R=6*5*4*3*2=720
S-R=0
