Explanation :

Answer: B) 20 Explanation: Since each number to be divisible by 5, we must have 5 0r 0 at the units place. But in given digits we have only 5.   So, there is one way of doing it.   Tens place can be filled by any of the remaining 5 numbers.So, there are 5 ways of filling the tens place.   The hundreds place can now be filled by any of the remaining 4 digits. So, there are 4 ways of filling it.   Required number of numbers = (1 x 5 x 4) = 20.
