The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Number between 2,000 and 5,000 is 4 digits number.
Using $0,1,2,3,4$ (repetition of digits is not allowed) and are multiple of 3 .
For multiple of 3 , the sum of all digits should be divisible by $3 $
So, number can be formed $0,1,2,3$ (sum is 6 which is divisible by 3) or $0,2,3,4$ (sum is 9 which is divisible 1 cannot be on highest digit in the number.
Therefore, number of 4 digit numbers $=2 \times 3 !+3 \times 3 !=30$

Permutations

A permutation is an arrangement of multiple objects in a particular order taken a few or all at a time. The formula for permutation is as follows:

\(^nP_r = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}\)

 nPr = permutation

 n = total number of objects

 r = number of objects selected

Types of Permutation

  • Permutation of n different things where repeating is not allowed
  • Permutation of n different things where repeating is allowed
  • Permutation of similar kinds or duplicate objects
