Correct answer
A72

Step-by-step explanation

Given set 1,2,3,5,6,7

Here sum is 1+2+3+5+6+7 =24

So there will be two cases

Case (i) When numbers are 1,2,5,6,7

Arrangement will be _ _ _ _ 2 & _ _ _ _ 6

In unit place 2 & 6 can take place because for multiple of 6 number should be even & sum of digits should be multiple of 3.

So total way in which remaining number can be taken will be 4!×2 =48 ways

Case (ii) When numbers are  1,2,3,5,7

Arrangement will be _ _ _ _ 2 

So total way in which remaining number can be taken will be 4!=24 ways

Adding case (i) & case (ii), we get

required 5-digit numbers =24+48=72
