Show correct answer & step-by-step solution

Correct answer: B

Solution

A number is divisible by 6 if it is even and the sum of digits is divisible by 3. The sum of $0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5$ is , which is divisible by 3, so any permutation is divisible by 3; we only need to ensure it is even and does not start with 0.
