How many total number of digits is used in numbering the book having 129 pages?

The correct answer is

279

To count the total digits used in numbering 129 pages, we split the page numbers into groups based on the number of digits.

Pages 1 to 9 (1-digit numbers): There are 9 pages, each using 1 digit.

Digits used = \(9 \times 1 = 9\)

Pages 10 to 99 (2-digit numbers): There are \(99 - 10 + 1 = 90\) pages, each using 2 digits.

Digits used = \(90 \times 2 = 180\)

Pages 100 to 129 (3-digit numbers): There are \(129 - 100 + 1 = 30\) pages, each using 3 digits.

Digits used = \(30 \times 3 = 90\)

Total digits = \(9 + 180 + 90 = 279\)

Hence, the correct answer is 279.
