A. 11

B. 18

C. 20

D. 21

Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Clearly, from 1 to 100, there are ten numbers with 3 as the unit's digit- 3, 13, 23, 33, 43, 53, 63, 73, 83, 93; and ten numbers with 3 as the ten's digit - 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39.

So, required number = 10 + 10 = 20.

    The answer will be 20 as 33 has two 3 so but you don't have to count 33 Twice..

    The answer is 20 only. We have to consider 33 as 2 count not as 1,because we are writing two 3s there

    the answer is 21 because their is two times 3 in the figure of 33 so 10+11= 21
