(1) The units digit has to be odd: how many choices?

(2) The hundreds digit can't be 0; and it can't be the same as the units digit: how many choices?

(3) The tens digit can't be the same as either the units digit or the hundreds digit: how many choices?

By the fundamental counting principle, the number of 3-digit numbers with the specified restrictions is the product of the numbers of choices for each digit.

.

this number = 8*5 + 7*8*5 = 40 + 280 = 320.


First addend  8*5  corresponds to the numbers having one of the digits {1, 3, 5, 7 ,9} as the last (ones) digit 
and 0 (zero) as the middle digit.


Second addend  7*8*5  corresponds to the numbers having one of the digits {1, 3, 5, 7 ,9} as the last (ones) digit; 
any different non-zero at the middle position and any different from these two non-zero digit at the most-left position.


In mathematics, permutation is known as the process of arranging a set in which all the members of a set are arranged into some series or order. The process of permuting is known as the rearranging of its components if the set is already arranged. Permutations take place, in more or less important ways, in almost every area of mathematics. They frequently appear when different commands on certain finite sets are considered.

What is a Combination?

A combination is an act of choosing items from a group, such that (not like permutation) the order of choice does not matter. In smaller cases, it is possible to count the number of combinations. Combination refers to the union of n things taken k at a time without repetition. In combination, you can select the items in any order. To those combinations in which re-occurrence is allowed, the terms k-selection or k-combination with replication are frequently used.

Permutation Formula

In permutation r things are selected from a set of n things without any replacement. In this order of selection matter.

nPr = (n!) / (n-r)!

Here,

n = set size, the total number of items in the set

r = subset size , the number of items to be selected from the set

Combination Formula

In combination r things are selected from a set of n things and where the order of selection does not matter.

nCr = n!/(n−r)!r!

Here, 

n = Number of items in set

r = Number of items selected from the set

How many 3-digit even numbers can be formed by using the digits 1,2,3,4, and 5?

Solution:

If repetition is allowed  

A three digit even number is to be formed from given 5 digits 1,2,3,4,5.

Ones place can be filled by 2 or 4 since the number is to be even. So, there are 2 ways to fill ones place.

Since, repetition is allowed , so tens place can be filled by 5 ways.

Likewise, hundreds place can also be filled by 5 ways.

So, number of ways in which three digit even numbers can be formed is 5 × 5 × 2 = 50

If repetition is not allowed

A three digit even number is to be formed from given 5 digits 1,2,3,4,5.

Ones place can be filled by 2 or 4 since the number is to be even. So, there are 2 ways to fill ones place.

Since, repetition is not allowed, so tens place can be filled by 4 ways.

Similarly, hundreds place can be filled by 3 ways.

So, number of ways in which three digit even numbers can be formed is 2 × 4 × 3 = 24

Question 2: How many 4 digit even numbers can be formed by using the digits 1,2,3,4 and 5?

Solution:

If repetition is allowed  

A four digit even number is to be formed from given 5 digits 1,2,3,4,5.

Since, for the number is to be even, so ones place can be filled by 2 or 4. So, there

are 2 ways to fill ones place.

Since, repetition is allowed, so tens place can be filled by 5 ways.

Similarly, hundreds place can also be filled by 5 ways.

Similarly, thousandth place can also be filled by 5 ways

So, number of ways in which four digit even numbers can be formed is 5 × 5 × 5 × 2 = 250

If repetition is not allowed

A four digit even number is to be formed from given 5 digits 1,2,3,4,5.

Since, for the number is to be even, so ones place can be filled by 2 or 4. So,

there are 2 ways to fill ones place.

Since, repetition is not allowed, so tens place can be filled by 4 ways.

Similarly, hundreds place can be filled by 3 ways.

Similarly, thousandth place can be filled by 2 ways

So, number of ways in which four digit even numbers can be formed is 2 × 4 × 3 × 2 = 48

How many 3

Hence, the number of 3-digit odd numbers that can be formed = 3×4×5= 60. (ii) When repetition of digits is allowed: Again, the unit's place can be filled up by 1, 3, 5. that is, in 3 ways. But the ten's and hundred's place can be filled up by any of the 6 given digits in 6 ways each. (since repetition is allowed)

How many possible numbers with no digit repeated?

The first digit can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9. The second digit can be any of the remaining 9 numbers, and the 3rd digit can be any of the remaining 8 numbers. So, 9 * 9 * 8 = 648 possible numbers with no digit repeated.

How many digits are there in a number?

We have three digits. Since the number should be odd, the last digit should be one of those numbers $1, 3, 5, 7, 9$. Now the second digits can be one of the digits: $0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9$ There are 10 different digits for the second digits, but since the digits should be different we cannot place 10 digits, but we can place 9 digits.

When repetition of digits is not allowed?

(ii) repetition of digits is allowed? (i) When repetition of digits is not allowed: Since we have to form a 3-digit odd number, thus the digit at unit's place must be odd. Hence, the unit's place can be filled up by 1, 3 or 5, that is, in 3 ways.

How many three digit odd numbers are there if repetition is allowed?

Hence, the number of 3-digit odd numbers that can be formed =3×6×6=108.

How many 3 digit numbers are possible if the number is odd?

The three digit numbers are 100 to 999 inclusive so there are 999-100+1 = 999-99 = 900 So, 900 three digit numbers If half of all numbers is odd then half of 900 is 450, there are 450 odd positve 3 digit numbers.

How many 3 digit combinations are there with repeats?

There are 6 = 3x2x1 ways to order 3 digits in a row. Thus the number of combinations of 3 of the 10 digits is 720/6 = 120 combinations.

How many 3 digit numbers that are odd can be formed whose digits are distinct?

Thus there are 60, 3 digit numbers, with distinct digits, with each of the digits odd. Note: We should be very careful about multiplying those numbers.
