\(\frac{(5!*4! + 6!*5!)}{31}\)

\(= \frac{5!(4! + 6!)}{31}\)

\(= \frac{5!(4! + 6*5*4!)}{31}\)

\(= \frac{5!*4!(1 + 6*5)}{31}\)

\(= \frac{5!*4!(31)}{31}\)

\(= 5!*4!\)

5! alone will have units digit as 0 , so the units digit of \(\frac{(5!*4! + 6!*5!)}{31}\) will be (E) 0

Hi,
the moment the Q asks us the units digit of \(\frac{(5!*4! + 6!*5!)}{31}\), we know 5!*4! + 6!5! is a multiple of 31..
Also due to 5! in each, the term/sum is a multiple of 10.. so units digit is 0

(5!*4! + 6!*5!)/31
=5!(4! + 6!)/31
=120 ( 24 + 720)/31
=(120 * 744)/31
= 120 * 24

Units digit of the above product will be equal to 0

Hi

Any factorial above 4 will have 0 as a units digit. Therefore, it's a units digit of 0 divided by another units digit rendering a 0 as the outcome's units digit.

I say (E) as well.

The numerator adds up to zero (the units digit of 5! and 6! is zero) so the answer can only be zero.

PS: Always appreciate questions that you can solve by using logic rather than doing a lot of math! lol

Great Question.
Here is what i did in this one -->
(5!*4! + 6!*5!)/31 => 5!*4!(31)/31 => 5!*4!
Hence it will always end with a zero due to the presence of a 2 and a 5.

Hence E.

(5!*4! + 6!*5!)/31

=5!*4!(1+6*5)/31

= 5!*4!(31)/31

=5!*4!

5! always contains a 10 i.e 5*2 (apart from 1*3*4)
and any whole number multiplied by 10 will give out 0 in its units digit

So 0 will be the answer :)
