The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

(A)Total 3-digit numbers: \[ 900 = 999 - 100 + 1. \] (B)Numbers divisible by 3: \[ \frac{900}{3} = 300. \] (C)Numbers divisible by 4: \[ \frac{900}{4} = 225. \] (D)Numbers divisible by both 3 and 4 (i.e., divisible by 12): \[ \frac{900}{12} = 75. \] (E)Numbers divisible by either 3 or 4: \[ 300 + 225 - 75 = 450. \] (F) Numbers divisible by 48: \[ \frac{900}{48} = 18. \] (G) Numbers divisible by either 3 or 4 but not 48: \[ 450 - 18 = 432. \]

Permutations and Combinations

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.
