for the number to be even, only 2 and 6 are even in the above given list, so the units place must be always 2 or 6. therefore the units place can be arranged in 2! or 2 ways
the rest of the 3 numbers can be rearranged to form different 5 digit numbers in 3!

then total number of ways to arrange is 3!*2!= 12 ways

I Don't agree with the answer 3!*2!

The question does not mention that the numbers can not be repeated.
So considering repetition,
the answer will be 5*5*5*5*2=1250

Since number needs to be even, only 2 and 6 can be used in the units place.

Suppose, 2 is in the units place, then number of such 5 digit numbers will be 4!

Suppose, 6 is in the units place, then number of such 5 digit numbers will be 4!

Thus answer should be 2*4! = 48

what is the OA?
