    a. 100

    b. 40

    c. 20

    d. 100

    e. 40

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The given numbers are 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 0

    If the repetitions are not allowed,

    (a) Let the three digit number is xyz.

    At x number of digits that can be placed = 5 [except 0]

    At y we can place digits = 5

    At z number of digits we can place = 4

    Total number of digits that can be formed = 5*5*4 = 100

    (b). Numbers formed which are less than 500.

    Let the number is in the form of xyz

    Then x will be less than 5 to form numbers less than 500.

    So possible number of digits at x = 2 [1, 3]

    Possible number of digits at y = 5

    Possible number of digits at z = 4

    Total numbers formed = 2*5*4 = 40

    (c) Even numbers will have 0 at the place of z.

    Then number of digits at x may come = 5

    Number of digits at y = 4

    At z only one digit may come.

    Therefore, number of even numbers formed = 5*4*1

    = 20 numbers

    (d) Odd number means at z there should be any one out of 1, 3, 5, 7, 9.

    Therefore, at z number of digits may come = 5

    At x number of digits may come = 5

    At y number of digits may come = 4

    Total odd numbers = 5*5*4 = 100

    (e) Multiple of 5 means at z there may be either 0 or 5.

    So numbers having 0 or 5 at z = 2

    Now digits that may come at x = 5

    Digits that may come at y = 4

    Total numbers may be formed = 2*5*4 = 40
