Detailed Solution

The given digits are 1,2,3,4,5

The number of four digited numbers from the given five digits without repetition is nS=5P4=5!=120

Any four digit number is divisible by 6, if it is even number and sum of the digits must be divisible by 3. 

Unit digit must be filled by either 2 or 4

Suppose that 2 is in unit place, the remaining three digits can be filled with 1,4,5 in order to make sum of the digits is divisible by 3. this can be done in 3! ways

Suppose that 4 is in unit place, the remaining three digits can be filled with 1,2,5 in order to make sum of the digits is divisible by 3, this can be done in 3! ways

Therefore, the number of four digited numbers which are divisible by 6 is 23!=12

Therefore, the required probability is 12120=110
