The number of times the digit 5 will be written when listing the integers from 1 to 1000, is

  • 271

  • 272

  • 300

  • None of these


C.

300

Since, 5 does not occur in 1000, we have to count the number of times 5 occurs when we list the integers from 1 to 999. Any number between 1 and 999 is of the form xyz, 0  x, y, z  9.

The number in which 5 occurs exactly once

= C139 × 9 = 243

The number in which 5 occurs exactly twice

= C23 . 9 = 27

The number in which 5 occurs in all three digits = 1.

Hence, the number of times 5 occurs

      = 1 × 243 + 2 × 27 + 3 × 1= 300
