Answer: Option (B)
How to Solve

  1. Multiply (6 x 8) = 48 (note down 8 carry 4).
  2. Then do cross multiplication( 5 x 8 + 6 x 4 + 4 (add carry)) = 68 (note down 8 carry 6).
  3. Again (6 x 5 + 5 x 4 + 4 x 8 + 6 (add carry)) = 88 (note down 8 carry 8).
  4. Again do cross multiplication and add carry (5 x 5 + 4 x 4 + 8) = 49 (note down 9 carry 4).
  5. Do multiplication of left numbers (4 x 5 + 4) = 24, note it down.
    And finally the result we get is 249888.

      then try this
      999 x 9 = 8991 add two zero to the left of number then
      999 x 9 = 8991 add one zero then
      999 x 9 = 8991 lastly add all you will get the ans 899100 + 89910 + 8991 = 998001

    • Suneela Voleti says:

      U can solve 999X999 through this method. I have got the answer as follows:
      1) 9×9=81 , note down 1 & carry 8
      2)9×9+9×9=162+8=170, note 0 & carry 17
      3)9×9+9×9+9×9=243+17=260,note 0 & carry 26
      4) 9×9+9×9+26=188, note 8 & carry 18
      5) 9×9=81+18=99 note down 99
      Answer = 998001

    • Kundan kumar srivastava says:

      Yes it can write down right to Left
      1013×981
      1) (3×1)=3 write down 3
      2) (3×8)+(1×1) = 25 WD 5 Carry 2
      3) (3×9)+(1×8)+(0x1)+2= WD 7 Carry 3
      4) (1×1)+(0x8)+(1×9)+3= 13 WD 3 Carry 1
      5) (1×8)+(9×0)+1=9 WD 9
      6) (1×9) =9 WD 9

      1013×981 ans is 993753
