Solution
The correct option is B 240
When none of the digits are repeated:
The hundred’s place can be filled by any of the digits: 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 or 8 except the one which has already been used at the thousand’s place, so it can be filled in 5 ways.
Similarly tens’ place can be filled in 4 ways: only those 4 numbers which have not been use either at hundred’s or thousand’s place.
Unit’s place can be filled in only 3 ways.
So, total number of nos. Possible = 4* 5*4*3 = 240
Hence option (b)
