Question

Observe the given multiples of 37.
37 $\times$ 3 = 111
37 $\times$ 6 = 222
37 $\times$ 9 = 333
37 $\times$ 12 = 444
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Find the product of 37 $\times$ 27.

• A. 999
• B. 1000
• C. 1110
• D. The smallest 3-digit number.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

999

Clearly this question follows a pattern in multiples of three,
37 $\times$ 3 = 37 $\times$ (3 $\times$ 1) = 111
37 $\times$ 6 = 37 $\times$ (3 $\times$ 2) = 222
37 $\times$ 9 = 37 $\times$ (3 $\times$ 3) = 333
37 $\times$ 12 = 37 $\times$ (3 $\times$ 4)= 444

Hence, on further calculations we see that 37 $\times$ 27 = 37 $\times$ (3 $\times$ 9) = 999.
