Explanation:

While typing numbers from 1 to 1000, you have 9 single digit numbers from 1 to 9. Each of them requires one keystroke. That is 9 key strokes.

There are 90 two-digit numbers, from 10 to 99. Each of these numbers requires 2 keystrokes. Therefore, one requires 180 keystrokes to type the 2 digit numbers.

There are 900 three-digit numbers, from 100 to 999. Each of these numbers requires 3 keystrokes. Therefore, one requires 2700 keystrokes to type these 3 digit numbers.

Then 1000 is a four-digit number which requires 4 keystrokes.

Totally, therefore, one requires 9+180+2700+4= 2893 keystrokes.

Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
