1 $begingroup$ How many odd numbers of $5$ digits can be formed with the digits $0,2,3,4,5$ without repetition of any digit? I noticed that the last number can be filled in $2$ ways and first place can be filled in $3$ ways. Consequently, 2nd 3rd and 4th places can be filled in $3$, $2$ and $1$ ways respectively. Is there any flaw in this reasoning? Please guide further. combinatorics share | cite | improve this question edited Jul 13 '17 at 8:34 N. F. Taussig 44.1k 9 33 56 asked Jul 13 '17 at 5:14 ...
