My answer and workings are below...
35 arrangements without order taken into consideration, because there are 35 ways in which to select 3 objects from the 7 objects.
210 arrangements (35 x 6) when order is taken into consideration.
*There are 6 ways to configure 3 letters.
Alternative way to solve the problem...
Produce Pascal's triangle. If you want to know how many ways in which you can choose 3 objects from 7, select (7 3) in Pascal's triangle which is equal to 35. Now, there are 6 ways in which to configure 3 objects if you are concerned about order.
