x12

x21

1x2

2x1        6 ways for 1 and 2 to pbe in the number   the 'x' can be any of the remaining 8 numbers  (3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0)

 

6 * 8 = 48

*** EDIT ****

SInce you probably do not want leading zeroes in your 3 digit number

x 21     and   x 12   would not be on the list

 

48 -2 = 46 numbers    as Guest below computed
