Solution

The correct option is B

810


The total number between 10 and 1000 are 989 but we have to form the numbers by using numerals 1,2,........9, i.e., 0 is not occuring so the numbers containing any '0' would be excluded i.e., Required number of ways

= 989 - ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪20,30,40,...........................100=9101,102,...........................200=19201,...............................300=19..................................................................................901,..............................900=18⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪

= 989(9+18+19×8)

Aliter:Between 10 and 1000, the numbers are of 2 digits and 3 digits.

Since repetition is allowed, so each digit can be filled in 9 ways.

Therefore number of 2 digit numbers = 989(9+18+19×8)

Aliter:Between 10 and 1000, the numbers are of 2 digits and 3 digits.

Since repetition is allowed, so each digit can be filled in 9 ways.

Therefore number of 2 digit numbers = 9×9 = 81

and number of 3 digit numbers 9×9×9 = 729

Hence total ways = 81 + 729 = 810.
