Question
How many different nine digit numbers can be formed from the number 2,2,3,3,5,5,8,8,8 by rearranging its digits so that the odd digits occupy even position ?
- 16
- 36
- 60
- 180
Hint:
Here we need to find the total number of nine digit numbers that can be formed using the given digits. We will count the number of even places present for the odd digits and then we will find the number of odd places present for the even digits. Then we will find the number of ways to arrange the odd digits and then we will find the number of ways to arrange the even digits and to get the final answer, we will multiply both of them.
The correct answer is: 60
Detailed Solution
Here we need to find the total number of nine digit numbers that can be formed using the given digits i.e. 2, 2, 3, 3, 5, 5, 8, 8, 8.
The digits which are even are 2, 2, 8, 8 and 8.
The digits which are odd are 3, 3, 5 and 5.
We have to arrange the odd digits in even places.
On finding the value of the factorials, we get
On further simplification, we get
Now, we have to arrange the even digits in odd places.
On finding the value of the factorials, we get
On further simplification, we get
Here we have obtained the total number of 9 digit numbers using the given digits. While finding the number of ways to arrange the odd digits in 5 even places, we have divided the 4! by 2! because the digit 3 were occurring two times and the digit 5 were occurring 2 times. Here we can make a mistake by conserving the number of even digits 4 and the number of odd digits 5, which will result in the wrong answer.

The sum of all the numbers that can be formed with the digits 2, 3, 4, 5 taken all at a time is (repetition is not allowed) :
Alternatively, we can use the formula for the sum of numbers as
We can also solve this problem by writing all the possible numbers and finding the sum of them which will be time taking and make us confused. We should know that the value of the digits is determined by the place where they were present. We should check whether there is zero in the given digits and whether there are any repetitions present in the numbers. Similarly, we can expect problems to find the sum of numbers formed by these digits with repetition allowed.

Total number of divisors of 480, that are of the form 4n + 2, n 0, is equal to :
We can also solve this question by writing 4n + 2 = 2(2n + 1) where 2n + 1 is always an odd number. So, when all odd divisors will be multiplied by 2, we will get the divisors that we require. Hence, we can say a number of divisors of 4n + 2 form is the same as the number of odd divisors for 480.
