Answer:

You can make six 3-digit numbers with 1, 5, 7 if you cannot repeat the same digit more than once.

Explanation:

Since, we've 3 numbers & we need to create 3-digit numbers, each number should be in the hundreds, tens & ones place at least twice. So, the numbers that we get are:

  • 157
  • 751
  • 517
  • 175
  • 715
  • 571

•°• We'll get six numbers.

Hope it helps!
