Correct answer: 52

  1. We need to form three-digit even numbers using the digits {0,1,3,4,6,7}\{0,1,3,4,6,7\}{0,1,3,4,6,7} without repetition.

  2. For a number to be even, its unit digit must be one of: 0,4,60,4,60,4,6

  3. We count case by case.


Case 1: Unit digit = 0

  • Fix the unit digit as 000.
  • The hundreds digit can be chosen from {1,3,4,6,7}\{1,3,4,6,7\}{1,3,4,6,7}, so there are 555 choices.
  • After choosing the hundreds digit, the tens digit can be chosen from the remaining 444 digits.

So, number of such numbers: 5×4=205 \times 4 = 205×4=20


Case 2: Unit digit = 4

  • Fix the unit digit as 444.
  • The hundreds digit cannot be 000, and cannot be 444.
  • So the hundreds digit can be chosen from {1,3,6,7}\{1,3,6,7\}{1,3,6,7}, giving 444 choices.
  • The tens digit can then be chosen from the remaining 444 digits (including 000 if unused).

So, number of such numbers: 4×4=164 \times 4 = 164×4=16


Case 3: Unit digit = 6

  • Fix the unit digit as 666.
  • The hundreds digit cannot be 000, and cannot be 666.
  • So the hundreds digit can be chosen from {1,3,4,7}\{1,3,4,7\}{1,3,4,7}, giving 444 choices.
  • The tens digit can then be chosen from the remaining 444 digits.

So, number of such numbers: 4×4=164 \times 4 = 164×4=16


  1. Total number of three-digit even numbers: 20+16+16=5220 + 16 + 16 = 5220+16+16=52

Therefore, the required number is 52\boxed{52}52​
