Basically the question is asking how many 5 digit numbers can be formed without repetition.
If we do by the box method, then the 1st place can be filled in 6 ways, second in 5, 3rd in 4 4th in 3 and the last in 2 ways.
Total number of ways = 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 = 720
In terms of permutations, we need to arrange 5 digit out of 6 = 6P5 = 6! / (6 - 5)! = 720 ways
In terms of combinations, first choose 5 numbers out of 6 in 6C5 ways and then arrange these 5 digits in 5! ways.
Total arrangements = 6C5 * 5! = 6 * 5! = 720

We have 5 empty places like this
- - - - -
We have 6 digits to use and the digit can NOT be repeated
Method-1
So we can fill the first place in 6 ways
6 - - - -
So we can fill the Second place in 5 ways (can not use the used digit at first place)
6 * 5 - - -
So we can fill the Third place in 4 ways (can not use the used digits at previous places)
6 * 5 * 4 - -
So we can fill the Forth place in 4 ways (can not use the used digits at previous places)
6 * 5 * 4 * 3 -
So we can fill the Fifth place in 4 ways (can not use the used digits at previous places)
6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2
So total numbers =
720
ANswer: Option D
Method-2
Step-1: Select 5 out of 6 digits that need to be used to make a five digit number in
\(^6C_5\)
waysStep-2: Arrange those selected digits at 5 places in
5!
waysTotal Such numbers =
\(^6C_5*5! = 720\)
ANswer: Option D
