Looks simple ..here is my approach..

10^(a+b+c)=10^6

So (a+b+c)=6

Now its give a,b,c are different positive integers..

So they can 1,2,3 (any of a,b,c which doesnt matter for our final value since base is 10)

So assume a=1,b=2,c=3

Now 10^a + 10^b +10^c= 10+100+1000 =1110

So my answer would be D here.

Press Kudos if it helps!!
