Q8 (CISF/2025) Science & Technology › Basic Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology)

The number of four-digit even numbers formed by the digits 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 without repetition is :

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D

Explanation

To form a four-digit even number using the digits {0, 2, 4, 6, 8} without repetition, we must satisfy two conditions: the number must end in an even digit, and the thousands place cannot be zero.

Since all the provided digits {0, 2, 4, 6, 8} are even, any four-digit number formed using them will naturally be even. Thus, the problem reduces to finding the total number of four-digit numbers possible without repetition.

  • Thousands place: Can be any digit except 0. (4 choices: 2, 4, 6, 8)
  • Hundreds place: Can be any of the remaining 4 digits (including 0). (4 choices)
  • Tens place: Can be any of the remaining 3 digits. (3 choices)
  • Units place: Can be any of the remaining 2 digits. (2 choices)

Total number of even four-digit numbers = 4 × 4 × 3 × 2 = 96.
