  Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
- The total number between 10 and 1000 are 989 but we have to form the numbers by using numerals  $ 1,\ 2,……..9,\ \ i.e. $ 0 is not occuring so the numbers containing any ?0? would be excluded i.e., Required number of ways  $ =989- \begin{cases}   & 20,\ 30,\ 40,…………….100=9 \\  & 101,\ 102,……………….200=19 \\  & 201,……………………300=19 \\  & ……………………………………… \\  & ……………………………………… \\  & 901,……………………..990=18 \\   \end{cases} $   $ =989-(9+18+19\times 8)=810 $ . Aliter: Between 10 and 1000, the numbers are of 2 digits and 3 digits. Since repetition is allowed, so each digit can be filled in 9 ways. Therefore number of 2 digit numbers  $ =9\times 9=81 $  and number of 3 digit numbers  $ 9\times 9\times 9=729 $  Hence total ways $ =81+729=810 $ .
