A five-digit number is formed by using digits 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 without repetition. What is the probability that the number is divisible by 4?

Answer: Option A

A number divisible by 4 formed using the digits 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 has to have the last two digits 12 or 24 or 32 or 52.
In each of these cases, the five digits number can be formed using the remaining 3 digits in 3! = 6 ways.
A number divisible by 4 can be formed in 6 × 4 = 24 ways.
Total number that can be formed using the digits 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 without repetition
= 5! = 120
Required probability,
$$\begin{array}{rl}& =\frac{24}{120}\\ & =\frac{1}{5}\end{array}$$
