The correct answer is: 240

To find the number of 7 digit odd number formed by using the seven digits 1,2,2,2,3,3,5

We will take following cases,

Case 1- fixing 1 as unit place,

So total number of ways will be 6!3!2! as 2 is repeating three times and 3 is repeating two times

Case 2- fixing 3 unit place,

So total number of ways will be 6!3!

Case 3- fixing 5 as unit place,

So total number of ways will be 6!3!2!

Now adding all the cases we will get, total number of ways as 6!3!2!+6!3!+6!3!2!=60+120+60=240
