How many three digit or four digit even numbers can be formed from the set (23567)?

Answer 1

To form three-digit even numbers from the set {2, 3, 5, 6, 7}, we can use the digits 2 or 6 as the last digit (to ensure the number is even). For each case, we can choose the first two digits from the remaining four digits. For three-digit numbers, there are 2 options for the last digit and (4 \times 3 = 12) combinations for the first two digits, resulting in (2 \times 12 = 24) even numbers.

For four-digit even numbers, we again have 2 options for the last digit. The first three digits can be selected from the remaining four digits, giving us (4 \times 3 \times 2 = 24) combinations for each last digit. Thus, there are (2 \times 24 = 48) even four-digit numbers. In total, there are (24 + 48 = 72) three-digit and four-digit even numbers that can be formed from the set.
