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.
