How many three digit odd numbers can be formed from the digits 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, if no digits are to be repeated?

The answer would be: 

m x n x p = 5 x 4 x 3  = 60

So the answer would be 60

There are \(5 \times 4 \times 3 = 60\) ways to choose without any restrictions. 

 

Note that of these integers, exactly \(3 \over 5\)th of them are odd because there are 5 choices for the final digit, 3 of which, are odd. 

 

This means that there is \({3 \over 5} \times 60 = \color{brown}\boxed{36}\) numbers.

We have three choices for a final digit

 

And  for each of these,  we can  permute  any 2 of the 4  remaining digits

 

So

 

3 * P( 4,2) =  3 * 12   =  36

 

 

cool cool cool
