• B. 554
• C. 612
• D. 374

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 554

The single-digit page (From 1 to 9) = 9 digit Double digit page (From 10 to 99) = 2 × 90 = 180 digit Total digit used = 9 + 180 =189 The remaining digit = 1554-189=1365 The number of page with three digits = 1365/3=455 The required number of total page =99+455=554
