Heyy!
1. For a number to be a multiple of 15, it should be a multiple of 3 and of 5. So, the last digit will be 5 and the sum of digits should be a multiple of 3. We can have either 4–digit or 5–digit numbers. If we have a 4–digit number, sum of the digits will be 1 + 2 + 3 + 5 = 11. No 4–digit number formed with digits 1, 2, 3, 5 exactly once can be a multiple of 3. So, there is no possible 4–digit number.
Now, in any 5-digit number, we will have 1, 2, 3, 5 once and one of these 4 digits repeating once. 1 + 2 + 3 + 5 = 11. So, the digit that repeats for the number to be a multiple of 3 will be 1. In this instance, sum of the digits will be 12 and this is the only possibility. So, any 5–digit number will have the digits 1, 1, 2, 3, 5. For the number to be a multiple of 5, it shall end in 5.
So, the number should be of the form __ __ __ __ 5, with the first 4 slots taken up by 1, 1, 2, 3. These can be rearranged in 4!2!4!2! = 12 ways. Thus, there are 12 possibilities overall.
- Since n is even, the square root will contain n/2 digits. For example, if the number is 1225 (n=4), then the number of digits in the square root = n/2 = 4/2 = 2. And the square root = 35. Thus, the square root of a perfect square number having n digits will have n/2 digits.
Hope this helps you! :)
