Correct answer: 240
- Digits given
We have the multiset of digits:
We must form 7-digit odd numbers using all these digits.
So, the total number of valid numbers depends on the last digit being odd.
The odd digits available are:
- Casework based on the last digit
Since the number must be odd, the unit digit must be one of the odd digits.
Case 1: Last digit is
Remaining digits are:
Number of distinct arrangements of these 6 digits is:
Case 2: Last digit is
Remaining digits are:
Again, number of distinct arrangements is:
Case 3: Last digit is
There are two 3's, but choosing either one gives the same type of remaining multiset:
Now the repeated digit is only repeated 3 times. So number of distinct arrangements is:
- Total number of odd numbers
Adding all cases:
- Final answer
The number of seven-digit odd numbers is:
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer =
Our derived answer is also , so it agrees.
