Correct Answer :

Option B

221

Solution :

The correct option is 221.

To find the sum of all the digits of the number, let us first analyze and simplify the given expression:
( 10 50 + 10 25 123 )
We can write this expression by grouping the terms as:
10 50 + ( 10 25 123 )

Step 1: Simplify the term 1025123
The number 1025 consists of a 1 followed by 25 zeros, representing a 26-digit number.
When we subtract 123 from 1025, the last few digits are determined by:
1000 123 = 877
All the remaining digits to the left of 877 turn into 9s. Since 1025 has 25 zeros, the subtraction results in a 25-digit number:
10 25 123 = 999 999 22 times 877
Thus, the number 1025123 consists of:
• Twenty-two 9s
• One 8
• Two 7s

Step 2: Add 1050 to the result
The number 1050 is a 1 followed by 50 zeros.
When we add 1050 to (1025123), the 25-digit number from Step 1 occupies the lowest 25 place values. The digit 1 from 1050 is at the 51st position, and all intermediate positions (from the 26th to the 50th position) are filled with zeros.
Therefore, the combined number has the following digits:
• One 1 (at the most significant position)
• 24 zeros
• Twenty-two 9s
• One 8
• Two 7s

Step 3: Calculate the sum of all the digits
Now, we sum the individual digits of the resulting number:
Sum of digits = 1 + ( 24 × 0 ) + ( 22 × 9 ) + 8 + 7 + 7
Let us compute the sum step-by-step:
Sum of digits = 1 + 0 + 198 + 8 + 7 + 7
Sum of digits = 199 + 22 = 221
