A certain number is made up of the digits ABC. If A < B < C < 6, and if AB > C, what is one possible value of ABC?

The correct answer is 234, 235, or 345.

Explanation: All three numbers have to be less than 6, meaning C can be either 3, 4, or 5, A can be 1, 2, or 3, and B can be 2, 3, or 4. Since AB has to be greater than C, AB must multiply to be larger than 6. This means A must be 2 and B must be 3 or 4, or A is 3 and B is 4. There are three distinct answers then: 234, 235, or 345.
