1)

the 1st number can only be 5 (should be lesser than 600) = total choices =1

the 2nd number can be any of the 5 digits in the set = total choices = 5

3rd number again can be any of the 5 digits in the set = choices = 5

hence total number of ways a 3 digit number can be formed which is lesser than 600 = 1 x 5 x 5 = 25

2)

the 1st number can only be 5 = choices = 1
2nd number can be any of the 4 remaining digits (other than 5 - no repetition) = choices =4

3rd number of the remaing 3 numbers = choices = 3

hence total ways = 1 x 4 x 3 = 12
