Solution

The given numbers are 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 4

          Unit

In order to get even 6-digit numbers

The unit place must be filled by the digits 2 or 4.

Therefore, the unit place can be filled in 2 ways using the digits 2 or 4.

In the remaining 5 digits (excluding the digit placed in the unit place 2 or 4) 1 occurs 2 times, 3 occurs 2 times.

∴ The number of ways of filling other places using the remaining 5 digit is = `(5!)/(2! xx 2!)`

∴ Number of distinct 6-digit numbers = `(5!)/(2! xx 2!) xx 2`

`(5!)/(2! xx 2!)`

= 5 × 4 × 3

= 60
