Final answer:
To calculate the cost of 999 air conditioners, you multiply the cost of a single air conditioner by 999. The calculation gives Rs. 16,333,650, but this does not match any of the given options, indicating a potential discrepancy in the question or the options.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the cost of 999 air conditioners, you would multiply the cost of one air conditioner by the number of air conditioners.
The cost of one air conditioner is Rs. 16,350. Therefore, the cost of 999 air conditioners would be:
Cost of 999 air conditioners = 999 × Rs. 16,350
We can calculate this as follows:
- Multiply the units digit of 999 by Rs. 16,350, which is 9 × Rs. 16,350 = Rs. 147,150.
- Multiply the tens digit of 999 by Rs. 16,350, then multiply that result by 10 (since it’s the tens place), which is 9 × Rs. 16,350 × 10 = Rs. 1,471,500.
- Multiply the hundreds digit of 999 by Rs. 16,350, then multiply that result by 100 (since it’s the hundreds place), which is 9 × Rs. 16,350 × 100 = Rs. 14,715,000.
- Add all these results together to find the total cost: Rs. 147,150 + Rs. 1,471,500 + Rs. 14,715,000 = Rs. 16,333,650.
However, note that our total, Rs. 16,333,650, is not one of the given options. There seems to be an error either in the calculation or the options provided. To align with the provided options, the correct method of calculation would yield one of those options as the correct answer.
Upon reviewing the possible options, none of them match our calculation. Therefore, there seems to be a discrepancy.
