Correct Answer: 4025
Solution :
Total numbers between 121 and 999 are given by 999 – 121 + 1 = 879
Since these are 3-digit numbers from 121 to 999, the keys have to be pressed 3 times for each number.
This can be calculated thus: 879 × 3 = 2637
Similarly, for numbers from 1000 to 1346: 1346 – 1000 + 1 = 347
Keys pressed for numbers from 1000 to 1346 = 347 × 4 = 1388
Total times the keys are pressed for numbers from 121 to 1346 = 2637 + 1388 = 4025
Hence, the correct answer is 4025.
