The correct option is A 276

2 3

2x1 / 2x2 + 3x1 / 3x2
2 7 6 $\Rightarrow 23\times 12=276$

1. Multiply the digits at one's place. Thus (3 x 2 = 6) and write it at the unit place of the product.
2. Cross multiply and add the products. Thus (2 x 2 + 3 x 1 = 7). Write it at ten's place.
3. Multiply the last digits (here the digits at ten's place). Thus (2 x 1 = 2). Write it at hundred's place.
