We need three digits numbers.

Since 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15

Numbers divisible by 3 are (1,3,5), (1,2,3), (2,3,4) and (3,4,5)

Total permutation is 4\times3!=24

Numbers divisible by 5 are (x,x,5)

Total permutation is 4\times3\times1=12

Numbers divisible by both 3 and 5 are (1,3,5) and (3,4,5)

Total permutation is 2\times2\times1=4

Hence required permutation is 24+12-4=32
