    All possible four digit numbers are formed using the digits 0, 1, 2, 3 so that no number has repeated digits. The number of even numbers among them is

    A) 9

    B) 18

    C) 10

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    In forming even numbers, the position on the right can be filled either 0 or 2. When 0 is filled, the remaining positions can be filled in \[3\ !\] ways and when 2 is filled, the position on the left can be filled in 2 ways (0 cannot be used) and the middle two positions in \[2\ !\] ways (0 can be used). Therefore the number of even numbers formed \[=3\ !+2(2\ !)=10\].
