The correct answer is: 49

Total cases : 6·6·5·4·3·2

ns=6·6 !

Favourable cases :

Number divisible by 3 Sum of digits must be divisible by 3

Case-I

1,2,3,4,5,6

Number of ways =6 !

Case-II

0,1,2,4,5,6

Number of ways =5·5 !

Case-III

0,1,2,3,4,5

Number of ways =5·5 !

n( favourable )=6 !+2·5·5 !

P=6 !+2·5·5 !6·6 !=49
