What kind of hands can you have here, both in terms of strength and distribution?

By passed hand? By unpassed hand (in this case, 1NT would be 15-17)?

This is takeout for the other two suits

By an unpassed hand, you should have about opening strength, but you could shave this a bit with extra shape. You probably shouldn't have a good 5-card unbid major -- you would just bid it.

If you're a passed hand, you should just short of opening. With a weaker 5-5 hand, you could bid 1NT.
