1-9
9 digits

10-99
There are 90 2-digit numbers
(90)(2) = 180 digits

100-999
There are 900 3-digit numbers
(900)(3) = 2700 digits


1000
4 digits


9 + 180 + 2700 + 4 = 2893

Each single-digit number requires 1 keystroke, so for all 9 single-digit numbers, it takes 9 total keystrokes. There are 90 double-digit numbers, each requiring 2 keystrokes, so it takes 2(90) = 180 keystrokes. For the 900 three-digit numbers, it takes 3(900) = 2,700 keystrokes, and finally, we need 4 keystrokes for 1,000. So, the total is:

9 + 180 + 2700 + 4 = 2,893

Answer: C

it should be 9+90*2+900*3+1*4
so answer should be 2893

While typing numbers from 1 to 1000, there are 9 single digit numbers: from 1 to 9.
Each of these numbers requires one keystroke.
That is 9 key strokes.

There are 90 two-digit numbers: from 10 to 99.
Each of these numbers requires 2 keystrokes.
Therefore, 180 keystrokes to type the 2-digit numbers.

There are 900 three-digit numbers: from 100 to 999.
Each of these numbers requires 3 keystrokes.
Therefore, 2700 keystrokes to type the 3-digit numbers.

1000 is a four-digit number which requires 4 keystrokes.

Totally, therefore, one requires 9 + 180 + 2700 + 4 = 2893 keystrokes.

1 to 9 : 9 digits
10to99= 90*2 = 180 digits
100 to 999 = 900 * 3 = 2700 digits
1000 = 4 digits
9+180+2700+4
2893
