Solution
The required numbers are lesser than 1000.
They are one digit, two-digit or three-digit numbers.
There are five numbers to be used without repetition.
One digit number: One-digit numbers are 5.
Two-digit number: 10th place can be filled by anyone of the digits by 5 ways and 1’s place can be 4 filled by any of the remaining four digits in 4 ways.
∴ Two-digit number are 5 × 4 = 20.
Three-digit number: 100th place can be filled by any of the 5 digits, 10th place can be filled by 4 digits and one’s place can be filled by 3 digits.
∴ Three digit numbers are = 5 × 4 × 3 = 60
∴ Total numbers = 5 + 20 + 60 = 85.
