Solution

The correct option is A

2700


Let the number that Vineet wanted to multiply be 'X'.
He is expected to find the value of 45X.
Instead, he found the value of 54X. The difference between the value that he got (54X) and what he was expected to get (45X), according to the question, is 540.
i.e., 54X - 45X = 540
or (54 - 45) × X = 540

X = 60.
45X = 2700.
