EDIT in the above answer**
------
5P4 * 6 since there are 6 cases

5P4*6=720

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes (24) | No (9)  

TCS 2014  (11 years ago)

ans is 6*5*4*3*3*2=2160
the second last digit is 2,4,6 only, so there is 3 posibilites to fill up the 3rd place..we have total 7 num, so 6th place can be fill with 6number, 5th place fill with 5 number and so on..

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes (16) | No (4)

I hope this is the answer!
To satisfy the above conditions as in the question..(the second last and last number shuld be even)
6 cases
_ _ _ _ 42
_ _ _ _ 62
_ _ _ _ 24
_ _ _ _ 64
_ _ _ _ 26
_ _ _ _ 46

So 2 digits are already set as above
Now take the first example. _ _ _ _ 4 2
here the remaining digits that can be filled are 1,3,5,6,7
So 5P3

Since 6 such cases are there 5P3*6=720

As the second last digit is even and the number is even, So that we have to fill up the last two digits with even numbers i.e. 3P2 .
And the remaining four positions we can fill up in 5*4*3*2 ways.
So that our required answer is 3P2*5*4*3*2 = 6*5*4*3*2 = 720

Dheeraz  (11 years ago)

positions 1 2 3 4 5 6

5th should be even so posibility is 2,4,6=3
other 5 can be any among 6 6p5=6!
ans=6!*3=2160

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes (5) | No (2)  

Ashish kalra  (11 years ago)

ans is 720 expl: for unit digit we have three options 2,4,6 then for second last 2 options left as one out of 2,4,6 used in unit digit then for remaining 5 places 5*4*3*2*1 so the ans is 5*4*3*2*2*3=720

So according to question.......... making 6 digit even number.
....
..
.
.
.
2nd last digit is even( i.e 5th position must even)

(1th)_____ (2nd) ______ (3rd) ______ (4th) _______ (5th) Even (6th)___________-
.
.
.we have 3 even number........... Now number of way selecting 3 even number for one place( 5th position) = 3C1=3
.
.
Remaining place( 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th)
Total number remaining is six because out of 7 number one must be fixed at 5th place( only even number)
..
.
.
number of arranging 6 number in 5 vacant place is = 6P5 = 6*5*4*3*2*1
.
.
Now total number of digit form is = 6P5*3=2160
....
AS per position (1th)6 (2nd)5 (3rd)4 (4th)3 (5th)( 3c1=3) (6th)2 (7th)1
== 6*5*4*3*3*2*1= 2160
