15.246 rounded to the nearest tenth is 15.2. You should take into the account only the first dropped digit. So, rounding is not cumulative.
Rounding is simplifying a number to a certain place value. To round the decimal drop the extra decimal places, and if the first dropped digit is 5 or greater, ROUND UP the last digit that you keep. If the first dropped digit is 4 or smaller, ROUND DOWN (keep the same) the last digit that you keep.
Example:
5.3485 rounded to the nearest tenth = 5.3, since the dropped 4 is less than 5.
5.3485 rounded to the nearest hundredth = 5.35, since the dropped 8 is greater than 5.
5.3485 rounded to the nearest thousandth = 5.349, since the dropped 5 is equal to 5.
So, according to the above 8.35y rounded to the nearest tenth will be 8.4 irrespective of the value of y.

X rounded to tens place is 20. ( X > 15 and we want to round to tens place)
X rounded to the nearest tenth is 15.2 ( 15.246 rounded up)
So 20 * 15.2 = 304
Hence Option (D) is our answer.
Best,
