Solution

Let the other multiplier be p

Instead of calculating 25*p, he calculated 34*p

It is given that because of the mistake, the answer was 405 more than the correct answer.

34p-25p=405

9p = 405

p=$$\ \frac{\ 405\ }{9}$$

Now we have to find the value of 34p

=34*$$\ \frac{\ 405\ }{9}$$

=1530

A is the correct answer.
