The given digits are 0,1,2,3,4,5

Case (i) : FIve digit numbers excluding zero.

All five digit numbers formed by 1,2,3,4,5 are divisible by 3, becasue sum of the digits of 1,2,3,4,5 is 15, which is divisible by 3

The number of five digit numbers formed by 1,2,3,4,5 is equal to the number of ways of arranging the five numbers among them selves, this can be done in 5! ways

Case (II) : Five digit numbers including zero. 

If zero included, the five digit numbers which are divisible by 3 must contain 0,1,2,4,5because their sum is 12, which is divisible by 3

In this case of five digit numbers, first place the first digit any one of 1,2,4,5, this can be done in four ways. 

The remianing four blanks can be filled with four digits in 4! ways.  

Hence, the number of five digit numbers which are divisible by 3 are 4·4!

Therefore, the number of five digit numbers divisible by 3 is formed using 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 without repetetion is 5!+44!=120+96=216
