When two \(7\)s are used \((3445{\color{red}77}) = \dfrac{6!}{2!2!} = \dfrac{720}{4} =180\)

When one \(7\) and one \(8\) is used \((3445{\color{red}78}) = \dfrac{6!}{2!} = 360\)

When two \(8\)s are used \((3445{\color{red}88}) = \dfrac{6!}{2!2!} = \dfrac{720}{4} =180\)

So, the total number of ways \(= 180+360+180 = 720 \quad \Longrightarrow\quad\)B
