  • B197820
  • C49455
  • D98910

Step-by-Step Solution

The numbers are 102, 107, …, 997 — an arithmetic progression with and last term 997. From we get , so the sum is . (98550 is the sum of the three-digit multiples of 5 instead; 197820 forgets the factor and uses ; 49455 halves the correct answer a second time.)
