Solution
A number between 100 and 1000 is a 3 digit number and is to be formed from the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, without repetition of digits.
∴ 100’s place digit must be a non-zero number which can be filled in 5 ways.
10’s place digits can be filled in 5 ways.
Unit’s place digit can be filled in 4 ways.
∴ Total number of ways the number can be formed = 5 × 5 × 4 = 100
∴ 100 numbers between 100 and 1000 can be formed.
