Dear Student, If you choose any number between1and90(inclusive), and call itx, you can choose any number betweenx+1andx+10, which gives us10choices for each. If you choose91, for example, you have9 numbers to choose from (i.e.92,93,⋯100). Similarly,93gives us8choices,94gives us7, and so forth, until99gives us only1choice. Hence,90x10+9+8+7+⋯+1=945.
