Since repetition is allowed we have
7*7*5*3*7=3675

L L S D S => this order must be maintained, here repetition is also allowed

therefore, the number if code will be= 7*7*5*3*5= 3675

Shouldn't we also multiply 3675 with 5! because of the arrangement of 5 selected numbers itself ?

Please guide me.

here the order is defined, thus you do not need to multiply by 5!

if the question says that order matters, how would it differ?

You mean when the order doesn't matter?
In that case - You multiply it with \(\frac{5!}{{2! 2!}} = 30\)
