Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

  • [d] Terminal digits are the first and last digits.
    $ \therefore $ Terminal digits are even
    $ \therefore $ 1st place can be filled in 3 ways and last place can be filled in 1 ways and remaining places can be filled in $ ^{5}P_4=120 $ ways. Hence the number of six digit numbers so that the terminal digits are even, is $ 3\times 120\times 2=720 $
