Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 48

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(1,2,3,5,6,8\) To form number divisible by 3 , they must contain \((2,3,5,6,8)\) and if it is not divisible by 6 , hence it must be odd. \(\overline{4} \times \overline{3} \times \overline{2} \times \overline{1} \times \overline{2}=4 ! \times 2\) ways \(=48\) ways
