How many 3-digit numbers can be formed from digits 1, 5, and 9 if repetition is allowed?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 27

This problem uses the fundamental principle of counting: when a task has successive independent choices, multiply the numbers of choices. The hundreds place can contain any of 1, 5, or 9, so it has 3 choices. Because repetition is allowed, the tens place again has 3 choices, and the units place also has 3 choices. Therefore, the total number is 3 × 3 × 3 = 3³ = 27. Option C is correct. If repetition were forbidden, the count would be 3 × 2 × 1 = 6, which explains option D, but that condition is not given. The values 9 and 18 do not include all three independent positions with repetition permitted. None of the digits is zero, so every formed sequence is genuinely a 3-digit number.
