Question

How many sequences of 6 positive digits (1-9) contain at most one even digits? 

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given number of digits in each sequence=6.

Number of digits which can be used=1-9

Number of even digits=2,4,6,8 ( 4 in number)

Number of odd digits=1,3,5,7,9 (5 in number)

Case 1) If repetition is not allowed ,

(i) If the sequence contains no even digits:

Number of ways of filling 5 odd digits in the 6 places of the sequence= 5×4×3×2×1×0

(ii) If the sequence contains 1 even digit:

Number of ways of filling 5 odd digits in the 6 places of the sequence=4!×5×4×3×2×1

                                                                                                                =2880
