Options

A.15400
B.17800
C.16800
D.29400

Solution

Sol. [Key Concept: Split into 'exactly one digit repeated' and 'exactly two repeated' cases and use multinomial arrangements.]

Exactly one digit repeated $\rightarrow \ ^{5}C_{1} \times \frac{7!}{3!} = 4200$

Exactly two digits repeated $\rightarrow \ ^{5}C_{2} \times \frac{7!}{2!2!} = 12600$ Total numbers $= 16800$
