The correct answer is: 271

Given numbers are 1, 2, 3, 5, 7.

And also they are arranged in descending order.

i.e., the numbers with four and five digits are included.

The number of five-digit number=5!

The number of four digits number

=p45=5!(5-4)!=1201=120

The number of 3 digits starting with 7=

i.e., 4 digits have to be fit in 2 place in p24 ways,

p24=4!(4-2)!=4×3=12

The number of 3 digits numbers starting with 5=

p24=4!(4-2)!=4×3=12

The number of digits starting with 3

i.e., 3 numbers have to fit in 1 place in p13 way.

p13=3!(3-1)!=3×2×12×1=3=3

The number of digits starting with 3¯5¯ is,

p13=3!(3-1)!=3×2×12×1=3

And the next number is 327.

The rank of 327 is

=120+120+12+12+3+3+1

=271

Rank of 327=271
