possible digits are 2,4,6,8
increasing order- 246,248,268,468=4
total 3 digit numbers that can be formed=4 * 3* 2=24
Probability=4/24(numbers in increasing order/total number that can be formed)=1/6

Four different even digits are 2,4,6,8.
There are total 4*3!=24 numbers of 4 digit number can be form using the above 4 digits.
Only 4 four digits numbers are possible whose first 3 digits are in increasing order.
They are-
i)2468
ii)2486
iii)2684
iv)4682
so, probability that first three digits are in increasing order will be=4/24=1/6
so, option 4)1/6 is the right answer

moumita   10 years AGO

total no of ways (without repetation) =4! = 24
possibility of first 3 digits in increasing order is-
(i) fixing 8 at the third position , no of ways 3C2 = 3 ways
(ii) fixing 6 at the third position , no of ways 2C2 = 1 way
total possibilities = 3 +1 =4 ways
therefore, probability = 4/24 = 1/6
Ans ( 4) 1/6

First we will find total numbers that can be formed using digits 2,4,6,8. they are 4!=24
As first three digits should be in increasing order thus the following four combinations are favourable:
2468
2486
2684
4682
So probability=4/24=1/6

The even digits that will form numbers are 2,4,6,8.
So, 4! numbers can be formed using these digits.

Out of which 2468,2684,2486,4682 are those numbers in which first three digits are in increasing number.
So,the required probability = 4�4!=4�24=1/6. Ans.

prabhat kumar sharma   10 years AGO

only 4 even digit are available i.e
2,4,6,8
thus total no of ways to arrange them is 4!=24
accrdng to question we can arrange these no in 4 different ways i.e
2468
2486
2684
4682

therefore required probability is = 4/24=1/6

B Harish Babu   10 years AGO

non zero different even numbers-2,4,6,8
number of ways selecting 3 numbers from the 4 possible numbers=number of ways of arranging first 3 numbers in increasing order=4c3=4
the last number being the remaining number after selecting 3 numbers.'
number of possible 4digit numbers with these conditions=4c3*1=4
total number of 4-digit numbers with non zero different even digits=4*3*2*1=24
probability=4/24=1/6
so option 4 is correct.

first of all, we do have 2468,2486,2684,4682 as the favorable cases satisfying the requirement(first three even digits should maintain increasing order). the total possible cases of getting a 4 digit number with distinct even digits apart from 0 are 4! so finally the probability is 4/4!=1/6

Total four digit number = 9*8*7*6

Now first three digits are in increasing order
Number starts from 1 = [7*8/2]*6
Number starts from 2 = [6*7/2]*6
Number starts from 3 = [5*6/2]*6
Number starts from 4 = [4*5/2]*6
Number starts from 5 = [3*4/2]*6
Number starts from 6 = [2*3/2]*6
Number starts from 7 = [1*2/2]*6

so total such number = 84*6

hence prob = (84*6)/( 9*8*7*6 ) = 1/6
