A. 6
B. 4
C. 8

Correct Answer: (C)

Two digit numbers; The two digits can be 4 and 7: Two possibilities 47 and 74
Three-digit numbers: The three digits can be 1, 4 and 7: 3! Or 6 possibilities.
We cannot have three digits as (2, 2, 7) as the digits have to be distinct.
We cannot have numbers with 4 digits or more without repeating the digits.
So, there are totally 8 numbers.
