7 does not occur in 1000 . so we have to count the number of times it appears between 1 and 999 . any number between 1 and 999 can be expressed in the form of xyz where 0 < x , y , z < 9 .
1 . the numbers in which 7 occurs only once . e . g 7 , 17 , 78 , 217 , 743 etc this means that 7 is one of the digits and the remaining two digits will be any of the other 9 digits ( i . e 0 to 9 with the exception of 7 ) you have 1 * 9 * 9 = 81 such numbers . however , 7 could appear as the first or the second or the third digit . therefore , there will be 3 * 81 = 243 numbers ( 1 - digit , 2 - digits and 3 - digits ) in which 7 will appear only once . in each of these numbers , 7 is written once . therefore , 243 times . 2 . the numbers in which 7 will appear twice . e . g 772 or 377 or 747 or 77 in these numbers , one of the digits is not 7 and it can be any of the 9 digits ( 0 to 9 with the exception of 7 ) . there will be 9 such numbers . however , this digit which is not 7 can appear in the first or second or the third place . so there are 3 * 9 = 27 such numbers . in each of these 27 numbers , the digit 7 is written twice . therefore , 7 is written 54 times . 3 . the number in which 7 appears thrice - 777 - 1 number . 7 is written thrice in it . therefore , the total number of times the digit 7 is written between 1 and 999 is 243 + 54 + 3 = 300 option b

you have 6 digits : 2 , 3 , 4 , 6 , 7 , 8 each digit needs to be used to make two 3 digit numbers . this means that we will use each of the digits only once and in only one of the numbers . the numbers need to be as close to each other as possible . the numbers can not be equal so the greater number needs to be as small as possible and the smaller number needs to be as large as possible to be close to each other . the first digit ( hundreds digit ) of both numbers should be consecutive integers now let ' s think about the next digit ( the tens digit ) . to minimize the difference between the numbers , the tens digit of the greater number should be as small as possible and the tens digit of the smaller number should be as large as possible . so let ' s not use 2 and 8 in the hundreds places and reserve them for the tens places . now what are the options ? try and make a pair with ( 3 * * and 4 * * ) . make the 3 * * number as large as possible and make the 4 * * number as small as possible . 387 and 426 ( difference is 39 ) or try and make a pair with ( 6 * * and 7 * * ) . make the 6 * * number as large as possible and make the 7 * * number as small as possible . we get 684 and 723 ( difference is 39 ) a
