How many (5)-digit numbers can be formed from (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) without repetition and ending in (5)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (360)

The direct answer is option A, 360. The units digit is fixed as 5, so the number automatically ends in 5. We must fill the remaining four positions using four different digits from the other six digits: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7. The first remaining position has 6 choices, then 5, then 4, then 3 choices. Therefore the count is ^6P_4=6×5×4×3=360. Option A is correct. Option B, 720, is twice the correct count and would overcount the arrangements. Option C, 120, is 5!, not the required selection and arrangement from six available digits. Option D, 840, has no valid count for these restrictions. The fixed final digit is not chosen again, and no repetition is allowed. Memory cue: fix the required last digit first, then permute the remaining available digits into the empty positions.
