The answer would be 120
the numbers b/w 10 to 100 satisfying above condition are:36 i.e 8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1 (Ex: 12,13...19, 23...29,34....39,45...49,56...59,67..69,78,79,89,
similarly 101 to 200 are= 36-8=28, 201 to 300 are=28-7=21.......700 to 800 is 789 only(1)
So the total is (8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1)+(7+6+5+4+3+2+1)+(6+5+4+3+2+1)+(5+4+3+2+1)+(4+3+2+1)
+(3+2+1)+(2+1)+1 =36+28+21+15+10+6+3+1
=120

Let us first check for the nos in 10 -100
10 - 20 : 12, 13, ....19: 8 nos
20 - 30 : 23, 24.......39 : 7 nos
30 - 40 : 34,35.......49 : 6 nos
.
.
.
80-90: 89 : 1 no
90- 100 : 0 nos

Adding all of them 8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1 = 36

Now from 100 - 200
We get the first digit as 123. ( all the nos below that do not satisfy the condition)

110 - 120 : 0 nos
120 - 123 : 7 nos
.
.
.
180 - 190 : 189 : 1 no only

Adding all we get 7+6+5+4+3+2+1 = 28

We observe a pattern in the series being made. The no decreased from 36 to 28 with a difference of 8 in the next group of ( 200- 300) we get the 1st no as 134. So the series would be decreased by 7. So we would get
200-300 : 6+5+4+3+2+1 = 21

Summing up : 36 + 28 + 21 + 15 + 10 + 6 + 3 + 1 = 120

Option2nd is correct answer
Explanation:the number in right should be greater then the number in its left so for number less than 100 there are 36 such numbers and so on on adding all the numbers we will get
36+28+21+15+10+6+3+1=120

12 to 89 = 36
123 to 189=28
234 to 289=21
345 to 389=15
456 to 489=11
567 to 589=6
