All the two-digit positive integer whose unit digit is greater than their ten’s digit are selected. If all these numbers are written one after the other in a sequence, how many digits are there in the resulting number?

(A) 90
(B) 72
(D) 60
(D) 54
(E) 36

Let the two digit number be denoted as ab.

Where a = Tens digit, and b = Units digit.

Given that b>a.

If a = 1, then b can hold values { 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}. Totally = 8 values

If a = 2, then b can hold values { 3,4,5,6,7,8,9}. Totally = 7 values.

If a = 3, then b can hold values { 4,5,6,7,8,9}. Totally = 6 values.

If a = 4, then b can hold values { 5,6,7,8,9}. Totally = 5 values.

If a = 5, then b can hold values { 6,7,8,9}. Totally = 4 values.

If a = 6, then b can hold values { 7,8,9}. Totally = 3 values.

If a = 7, then b can hold values { 8,9}. Totally = 2 values.

If a = 8, then b can hold values { 9}. Totally = 1 values.

The total numbers which satisfy the above mentioned criteria = 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 36 numbers.

Then, the number of digits = 36* 2 = 72 digits.

Option B

Tens digit can be = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
When tens digit is 1, unit digit can be 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 =8 ways
When tens digit is 2, unit digit can be 3,4,5,6,7,8,9 =7 ways
When tens digit is 3, unit digit can be 4,5,6,7,8,9 =6 ways
........
When tens digit is 8, unit digit can be 9 =1 way
Total possibilities =8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1=36 ways
Number of digits= 36*2=72 digits

When ten digit is 1 unit digit is 8 no.s
When ten digit is 2 unit digit is 7 no.s


Like wise when ten digit is 8 unit digit is only 9 so 1 possibility

So total such cases 9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1=36

Number of digits in such numbers are 36*2=72 option B
