Ans E:1339

458600-342700 = 133900

tens dig= 1, uniits =3
last two digits as 13

that will one every 100

hence total numbers = 1339

Hi

I think similar kinda problem was discussed yesterday let see if i can get this right..

Number of digits between 324,700 and 458,600 is found out first

that is 458600-324700 which is 133900
so now the possibility of integer with tens digit as 1 and units digit 3 which is number 13 and it is possible only once in ever 100 number

now, there 133900 numbers and 13 is possible only once so the answer is

1339
Hope it helps
Vishu
