Solution

The correct option is D 1800
We estimate both the numbers separately and then multiply them.
In 85, units digit is 5 so tens digit gets increased by 1 and units digit gets replaced with 0 resulting into 90.
In 17, units digit is 7 which is greater than 5 so tens digit gets increased by 1 and units digit gets replaced with 0 resulting into 20.
On multiplying 90 and 20 we get 1800.
