Solution and Explanation

A number is divisible by 10 if its units digits is 0. 
Therefore, 0 is fixed at the units place. 
Therefore, there will be as many ways as there are ways of filling 5 vacant places permutations and combinations in succession by the remaining 5 digits (i.e., 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9).
The 5 vacant places can be filled in \(5!\) ways.
Hence, required number of 6-digit numbers = \(5!\) = 120

Permutation:

Permutation is the method or the act of arranging members of a set into an order or a sequence. 

  • In the process of rearranging the numbers, subsets of sets are created to determine all possible arrangement sequences of a single data point. 
  • A permutation is used in many events of daily life. It is used for a list of data where the data order matters.

Combination:

Combination is the method of forming subsets by selecting data from a larger set in a way that the selection order does not matter.

  • Combination refers to the combination of about n things taken k at a time without any repetition.
  • The combination is used for a group of data where the order of data does not matter.
